Picture from the past
 

Looking through my new Red Power magazine there was an article with this picture attached. It's of my grandfather looking at the new Farmall Super C tractor.
I'm figuring it's from the early 50's. He bought all his tractors from the dealership here in Gillett. Back then it was known as Dickinson-Rasmussen Implement. Before my time, but I remember when it was Gillett Implement.
Long gone now, grandpa, dealership and tractor... All that's left is memories.:bigthink:

That is so cool....

That's really cool Todd!

That's cool.

Cool picture, Red Power is one of my favorite magazines.

That's the Coolest damn thing I've seen in a long time!

That's awesome Todd. I see it as a sign. There's a certain third generation Zippel that should be show cased as well with his Original. :bigthink:

That is so cool! I love family nostalgia such as that!

How cool is that!

Good for you Todd, I'd love to stumble onto something like that.

Nice! I'm wondering if some of your Cadets may have came from there? Was it just by chance the picture is in the magazine or did someone in your family submit it? Either way that's cool!

I bet the number of older IH dealers with that style of IH approved building is almost non-existent now. The one my dad worked for turned into a distribution point for Merita bread products. The showroom/parts counter is used for retail space, the tractor and truck shops are for storing bread. I didn't think it was possible to get all that Hy-tran odor out of the building!
