I have been trying to find some info about our local IH dealer in Wallace, NC. My grandaddy and daddy dealt with them until 1974--the year I was born--when they closed. I stumbled on some interesting newspaper ads online from The Duplin Times newspaper. The quality is not outstanding as they look to be photocopies of original newspaper, but they're still pretty cool. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

Re: Cool Cub Newspaper Ads
Yeah, and you could bring your Cub back in for an engine overhaul in February 1957 for about $50.

It ran a little more in 1961.

Is the building still there?

I gave them a quick massage to clean them up a bit. Some of the smaller stuff I left alone. It could be cleaned up but takes a lot more work.

Yes. It was built in 1939. After the owner retired (couldn't find a buyer, in part because he wanted too much for the place) it was an auto parts store for a few years. It's now privately owned by a guy in the construction business and is used as his shop. I have a contact that is hopefully going to get me inside to look around maybe this winter. Of course all traces of IH are long gone but I can use my imagination. There is a story that there was a full-sized mural of a Farmall M painted on one of the upstairs walls. Would love to go up there with some sandpaper.......
Here are a couple pics from some years back with granddaddy's Super A. It was the first new Super A sold there, one of many, many more to come.....it is directly behind the Atlantic Coast Line depot, most of the new tractors came in by rail well into the 60s/70s.

Pretty non-descript building, looks like the style of the day.

I was able to get inside back in August. I had assumed that the original owner built it all, but the showroom and part of the parts area was originally built in the early 1900s. The main shop was added later, the original shop was nowhere near as big, and is in pretty good shape. The main roof is in very bad shape, you can stand in the showroom and look up and see sky. It broke my heart to see it that way, but the owner intends to save/preserve it and turn it into a distillery. He's interested in the history of the place so hopefully its future is secure.
This is the only thing that I could find that shows it was an IH dealer.

Also, I found this neat ad from when the Cub was introduced at the dealer.

Re: Cool Cub Newspaper Ads
Cool topic, and some cool ads. That building needs to be saved - I hope the new owner does what he says he will do to it, but not lose the character of the building in the process of restoring it.

I wish that last one still had what the price was back then. I love seeing then vs now, like my dads old '71' Formula Firebird was like $3500 new back in 1971, but now its over that just for a regular Firebird, not even the Formula ones...
