Kinsman is an old IH dealer was/is still in business selling tractor parts and Cub Cadet tractors. Going there is a real treat because the service counter still incorporates the International Harvester theme in art-deco style built back in the 40's or 50's, I believe..... Even the International Harvester company name still hung on the face of the wooden soffit above the service counter in block lettering.

Kinsman's service counter was somewhat similar to this photo but in brown color, not white.

Every time I walked in there, I feel like I entered time warp going back in time. Yeah, these guys are good people. They've help me out plenty.
