That must have been the first year of the "big" compacts. Looks like Francis and Patty nerving themselves up to go deal with the smiling curmudgeon behind the parts counter (me). I would assume one of the big draws for regular customers was getting a 10% bonus for any money you put on account. Guy with a lot of our equipment would put money ahead to use during the rest of the year, which would be like getting 10% off parts and labor. We also would give extra good pricing on twine and oil.
