Allis Dealers

Interesting Bill, there was a Wertz Implement here in Charlotte, Michigan. Except they were a John Deere dealer.

Bill Long, Wertz Garage is now (has been for around the last 12 years or so) Wertz Farm & Power  Equipment   in Glen Rock Pa. They just had a 100 year anniversary. They are very good people.

There was a dealership in Martinsville, IL. I think it was Sinclair Implements. I remember the shiney new orange tractors setting out front when dad and I would go by on our way  to the hardware store. That was 57 years ago! I remember the hardware store had old wooden floors that creaked all the time.

Looking at the back of some manuals I have I found a mailing label for Evans Farm Equipment in Larue Ohio.

I know in Memphis, Missouri, My grand dad had an Allis Dealership. So didn't John Deere, and IH.. Now IH is 1.5 hrs away..
Agco and John Deere is 30 minutes in 3 directions.. Kahoka, Missouri, and Edina Missouri both had Allis Dealers I believe.

 The dealership in Newton ILL. Was Adkins and Dufrain Imp. Loyd Adkins and Fuzzy Dufrain  were brother-in-laws. In the late 70's Fuzzy bought out Loyd and it was  Dufrain Imp. Then in about 83  it became Burton-Einhorn Eq.  Then they screwed some area farmers and banks and Agco and filed bankrupcy. Still live in there brick houses like nothing happened,while the farmers where out. Needless to say there isnt much orange around here.

Larry OK, My dad was the shop foreman for Stanislaus Equipment company in Vinita Oklahoma in the late 40s and 50s. The store was right on the railroad tracks in Vinita.

Kugler Implement Coffeyville, Kansas - Closed back in the 80's (also was the GMC dealer) Strickland Bros. Oswego, Kansas - Still open Agco Dealer.

Akron Iowa had Dirks motor which was 3 miles from us. I remember dad saying now we have to drive to Hawarden Iowa whih was 13 miles. We thought that was terrible. Dirks quit Allis I think mid sixtys they are still there and are a Ford, Chevy dealer. Hawarden was wanless imp and later French Imp.
