Quite some time ago someone on the forum was collecting information about old AC dealerships. While going through some notes from my father he had made about his life I found the following:
Centerburg, Ohio used to have a Chevrolet dealer by the name of Judson Knight. He later became an Allis Chalmers dealer. Not sure of the year but had to be at least as old as the early 1930's. Dad purchased from him a new 1936 WC on rubber and no starter for $825.00 and a new pull type combine for $695.00. The combine was one of those with the clean grain elevator and the unloading elevator being the same piece. The dealership in the very late 1930's burned down and as a result went out of business.
Dad said he did a lot of custom work with that outfit and had it paid for by the time a full year had passed. He had plenty of work as most farmers in the area were still using the stationary threshers for their grain.
Thought that was interesting.
