has long history
With origins dating back to 1877,

A.N. Roe Co. in 1877, the business
was latter renamed the Roe Co.

called in The Roy Co. They first
offered farm equipment in 1947 and
added their Allis Chalmers line in
1954.
Headed by owners Richard and
Ruth Roy, the company now offers
a variety of goods, including feed,
lawn and garden equipment, new
and used farm machinery, a large
supply of parts and a service
department.

Warranty

Chalmers Two-Season "Peace-of-
Mmd” warranty for GLEANER
rotary combines has been ex
panded to include conventional as
well as rotary combines sold in
1984, according to Thomas Stadt
mueller, Combine Division
marketing manager.
"We’ve expanded this warranty
because we are committed to
making ownership of a new
GLEANER combine a worry-free
experience,” he said. "GLEANER
combines are quality built
products. Allis-Chalmers stands
behind them with this new
warranty which is an industry
first.”
Stadtmueller explained that the
two-season “Peace-of-Mind”
combine warranty, introduced in
1983 for rotary models, is being
expanded because of its popularity
among farmers across North
America. He said, "GLEANER
combines are worth more in terms
of features, productivity, and, now
‘Peace-of-Mind’.”
The warranty covers almost all
repair costs, parts and labor, or at
its option, replacement, any part
except tires, tubes and batteries,
excluding normal maintenance
terms.
Backing the warranty is the
Allis-Chalmers Total Quality
Assurance (TQA) program The
