As mentioned here proximity of the dealer back then was a major factor due to lack of trucks to transport tractors and equipment to and from the farm. New equipment was delivered by Rail as close to the dealer as possible and it was up to him to off-load it and get it home. Often driving them. Another big factor was that rural communities were very tight knit and made up of large families. As the family tree grew many younger members had to branch out from the family farm. My dad for instance was the oldest of 9 siblings. My grandfather was a horse trader and was a dealer agent, In 1932 my dad and grandfather partnered up and became a Case dealer.

Nuts didn't roll too far from the tree back then. ------------------Loren
