RETIREMENT ANNOUNCEMENT
We have invested nearly 50 years of service in the farm equipment
industry - forty years at our present location - dealing with several
generations of friendly farm folks and neighbors. We have had an
opportunity to sell our property. Yes, the rumors are true, we are
retiring from our business. As we look back over the years, we need to
give credit to the Lord for health, strength and guidance. We recognize
the help and undemanding of family and faithful employees. We want
to express appreciation to all of our customers for their patronage and
friendship; for large sales with enough profit to keep the doors open
but we also remember that there was real satisfaction sometimes on
week-ends and holidays in getting a bolt, a chain, repair link or a belt to
keep a critical machine operating. Thanks to so many customers who
promptly paid statements so we could pay ours. There are so many
things we'd like to say if we knew how and had adequate space. We will
just say again, 'THANK YOU". If we have left any unfulfilled promises,
or you remember a problem we have not dealt with, talk to us about it.
