This is what I remember from eastern NC when I was a boy. There were dealers in New Bern, Newport, Kinston, Greenville, Williamston and Goldsboro. That covers roughly a 50 to 60 mile radius from our farm. The closest ones to us were New Bern, 16 miles, Greenville 30 miles and Kinston 25 miles. I know there were others further out but can't tell you now where they were.

John, your thoughts were certainly the situation in central KS; IHC and JD had the larger dealerships, and the most dealerships. Herb

I've read a few times Mo. had the most AC dealers, Ohio must have been represented quite well too. Would be interesting to know for sure.

I was wondering that myself. On trips around the west I'll see a bunch of old AC's in an area but there are no dealers of any kind for miles. I'm guessing there were lots of little gas stations / equipment dealers in small towns. Now even the gas stations are gone. I can't imagine someone driving very far to buy a tractor or piece of machinery. They probably bought whatever was local.

Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone had a listing of all the Allis Chalmers dealerships of the past. The reason I'm asking is I was wondering where they concentrated on.
Thanks in advance.
Leonard
