Just heard a cool story. Fellow dealer says have you seen my sign yet. Comes out with an old cardboard ALLIS CHALMERS sign. Says older local ac guy called him to stop by his place. When he got there the gentleman said if you take it down it’s yours. It originally came off a shipping crate from when they shipped these big kilns to cement plant. After that story was told he said I’ll make it more interesting, he recently saved two big Al engines from that cement plant that used to power the kilns. I’m going to try to get pictures of these things. Thought it was a neat story.
