There sure were a lot of small ACs around Cushing when I was a kid. I wonder where the dealers were back in the 60's. I'm sure thats where my love for orange got its start.

Falun,
the town if you blink while passing through, you missed it . Once had seven stores two resteraunts, butcher shop, woolen mill, potatoe starch factory, two saw mills, two creameries, a tannery, lumber yard, two hotels, barbershop, furniture making factory, One cemetary, two churches, 1-8 grade school, and Clarence Fallstrom's Allis-Chalmers & Nash dealership.
Today, one cementary, two churches, one car repair shop, and a bait shop. Oh yes, one new business in old building selling collectables. only old business buildings left are the creamery building with the car repair in it, furniture factory turned into storage unit and the old lumber building that has grandma's attics in it. New busines east of town built up on an old farm, (which got leveld off and don't count in my book) is modern day lumber yard. Church buildings still there of course.

I grow on a farm near Richardson, WI. I have collected a few AC's but I now store them just across the river in MN. Joe I'll bet you know where Richardson is.

I, am also between Eureka Center and Milltown, a mile from Bruce Nelson,.... JC(wi) I remember driving during the 1970's through Falun, and seeing the old Porcelain Allis Chalmers sign on the side of the old dealership building, I wonder where it went? Our Dealer back during the 1970's was G&G Imp. in Luck,Wisc.,They got in trade a lot of rare tractors, I never realized at the time,someday how valuable they would someday be,one was a Minneapolis Moline R with a factory cab.

Swane, that was a neon lit sign. was on the building when it burned up back in about 1986. And I was to dumb to go and fetch it off the wall even at that point. Wasn't in real terrible shape yet but its gone now. Dad almost bought a UC allis thee, he seen it and went back couple days later to buy it from ol Clarence Fallstrom and Morris Blmgrin had just bought it before Dad got back there. Morris died last November. Tractor is parts and sits in the woods that grown up around it.
Use to go down to Luck and look at all the tractors he had there and wished I could have driven several different ones home . G&G were the last A-C dealer here but think it was Hession-Wright that had it before. Gustafson still sells some parts for Vermeer.
What was the name of the machinery dealer that had the lot where the holiday store and station are located at now in Milltown? I remember an old 90 Oliver that sat in the back corner along with other old rusted tractors. D JD, Ih f12 and 20 and regulers and other oddballs. Sure would have like to go back in time and took them out of there. oh well

JC(Wi) , It is a small world sometimes....The dealer in Milltown was Charlie Jorgenson Imp. He was a Case Dealer until around 1970, when the machinery lot was cleaned up and a Holiday Gas Station built.The building had a large CASE sign on it as well as a large CASE Eagle, The CASE Eagle today,was purchased , and sits in front of the Unity School as a symbol for the school mascot," Unity Eagles" The old Case building is still there , used as a town shop, and the main Case sales building sitting idle.
