Roger Olson, Cherokee Garage, Inc., Colby, Wisconsin, has received a handsome plaque honoring his dealership’s outstanding sales performance in Ford Tractors 1973 Big Tractor Sales Program. The presentation was made by G. L. Richards, Zone Manager for Ford Tractor and implement operations - North American, Northwester District, Bloomington, Minnesota. The special sales program feathers “fly-in” visits to Ford tractor training centers in Paris Texas and Vienna, Georgia by farmers requiring big power tractors. “Cherokee Garage, Inc. did an excellent job last year in an extremely competitive segment of the farm tractor market,” Mrs. Richards said. Ford’s high horsepower tractors are 135 P.T.O. horsepower Model 9600 and the 110 P.T.O. horsepower model 8600.
