To bad my grandfather is not alive today he could really tell you about dealers - but - he would be
126 years old (he was an implement deal too) - dad is only about 90 now. He could not remember the dealers in RedWood Falls and Granite Falls Mn.
If he remembers anymore I'll let you know.

Sure were quite a few Case Dealers in Murray County - Mn during the 30's.

I have watched these dealer postings with great interest as my grandfather on mothers side Alvin Omberson was an implement dealer in Chandler, MN. I was not sure of what brand as he died when I was young. I believe grandpa had the only implement dealership in Chandler but I could be wrong on that. I know Grandma sold the dealership (mid to late 1950s) when Grandpa died and have no information past that. My thanks and I hope this may be helpful.

I to not hear well - so probably misinterputed Pops words of "Omberson" incorrectly - I would beleive Ted is quite correct - It is not overson that was in chandler - There were the Schur's handling IHC in Chandler about the same time - and Omberson was handling AC toward the end. Is that correct Ted?
That would make my spelling of the Dovary name incorrect - Ted, dad thought the fellow at Dovary was related to your grandfather - what do you know about the Dovay, Mn Omberson? Dovary & Chandler are only about 25 miles apart.

Ted,
I have a dealer that is remembered as Overson from Chandler, MN. I'll bet that is the same person. I'll keep you posted. Don

I believe it is most likely my Grandfather, if you run it past the historian I hope he can confirm.

I will be certain to inform you if I find anything out about your grandfathers dealership. Thank you for taking the time to post on this subject. It has been very gratifying to hear of the people who have suddenly rekindled an old interest in their families history as a result of this project. Thanks again!

Bill,
Wow! That is an impressive list. It confirms what I thought to be true and that is there were Case dealers just about everywhere-usually at least one or two per county. The problem is that after 50 years very few people remember them and there is no physical evidence that they ever existed (in many cases). Your father must have a very good memory. Please send him my best wishes and thanks to both of you.

Don
