Red Power Roundup
(Continued from Page A 1)
Deering tractor with rubber tires,
owned by Bartlow’s grandson
Rollie Bartlow, has been on dis
play. During the open house,
many other IH tractors, Cub Ca
dets, IH equipment, refrigerators,
freezers, air conditioners, and IH
memorabilia will be displayed.
The Bartlow building is unique
in that it incorporates a basement
beneath the showroom and parts
room. The basement has a
12x12-foot door on the north end
for easy excess to the street. This
enabled a large area to store
equipment that was delivered to
the dealership.
The building■ also served as a
social gathering for the commu
nity. The grand opening was cele
brated with square dancing and
plenty of food. For several years,
