Allis Dealers

Another for Oklahoma,

There is a stencil still partly legible on the toolbox of my '52 CA

The top of it is
 ALLIS-CHALMERS
STANISLAUS COMPANY

Under the name looks like
Farm Equipment, Feed, Hay (parts of it are illegible)
VINITA OKLA

They are long gone, but I'll ask some of my older relatives if they know anything about them.

Wade Implement, Endeavor WI, closed

Grandpa was the dealer in the late 50's early 60's

Dad was a dealer in Blanchester Ohio in the 60's and 70's.  He sold Allis and New Holland and other short lines.  The name of his business began as Ledford Implement Store and Later became Ledford Equipment Co.  Before he was the owner it was Wheeler Implement, and before that it was Bash Implement.  Bash also had a store in Wilmington OH in the 40's or 50's.  Ray Townsend had an AC dealership just south of Wilmington OH for a time in the late 50's, early 60's.  That's where Grandpa's D-14, One-Ninety gas and E Gleaner came from.  Jim Atley had an Allis dealership east of Wilmington for a number of years in the 60's and 70's, maybe as far back as the 50's.

In Alva Oklahoma the is Devery Implement Co. They are still open but not an Allis dealer.

"Keep those cards and letters coming, boys and girls". A few more Maine AC dealers:

Young Brothers - Surry, Maine Howard Young is still around and talking AC every chance he gets. And we listen.

Pillsbury in Waterville, Maine

Brackett and Shaw - Several locations Bangor, Augusta, Berwick, Maine.
                    They distributed AC in northern New England.    
                    Skip Kezar of Berwick worked for them. Skip
                    brought his Waukasua B to our Gathering of
                    the Orange in 2007.

Lets keep adding dealers as they come to mind.

Schum Implement   Harvel Il.        Closed

Cordell's in Clay City,  Indiana is where my Dad did all of his business in the 40's through 60's.  Pigg Implement (Barney Pigg) bought them out by the early 70's and Dad went to them in Sullivan, Indiana. Randy Pigg now runs it and it is almost all New Holland and some Beuhler.  He still stocks a large supply if AC and Gleaner parts.

Anthony, the Dealer in Helena Ok was Dettle Impl. I ran into him last July at a reunion we had in KC.

How about Bernshausen's in Manito IL. And  Popejoy's in normandy IL. (Walnut)

If you check at one of your local college libraries they will or should have copies of old farm magazines from the 50's, 60's, etc that will have all the dealers for a state in manufacturers ads.

My 8050 came from Greentown eq. at one point in it's life, the decal is old enough looking that it could have been original but not sure.
