OPV,

Thank you very much for posting this ad. I just saw a salt and pepper shaker on EBAY for Elbow Lake Auto and Implement, Elbow Lake, MN that says Case/Pontiac with Ray Tefft as the owner. Any idea if this is older or newer than 1950? Thanks again, Don

Not only an idea, but issue solved. Ray Tefft bought into the business in 1951 according to a newspaper of that time period. He died in 1969. Ads in the Grant Cty Historical Society show them advertising for Chevrolet cars and trucks in an 1958 ad, and another for Oldsmoble in 1963. No Pontiac but I think we can assume we'll looking at early 60s to date the "shaker" Stuff came from the Grant County Historical Society in Elbow Lake.

OPV,

Thanks for doing the research on this dealer. Do you happen to know Dean Kappahn from Elbow Lake?
