Bro called me back the first of the week, and then sent me an e-mail link to a calendar that was on e-bay. Jimmy Thelen saw the add and contacted him about it with questions, and then Tom contacted me. Turned out the seller of the calendar was only about 50m from me. I bought it and it arrived today.
As you can see, the date was 1950 and Owen Fassett was my grandfather. My dad Homer, took over the business, and then my wife and I took over the business until we closed it down in fall of 1986.
The ariel pic. that I posted here is also about 1950 of our family dealership.
We were Case dealers from 1932 until 1986.
Just a side note, Dad built a new house where you see the run down house in the lower left of the pic. in 1954, where I grew up. I was borne in spring of 47 in a bungalow up the road where one of my uncles now lives, between my current home and the farm where dad was borne.

That is awesome! Always fun to find something old with a family tie. By the way, you mentioned florida and the next load I got took me to Orlando Fl. Lol. Thanks for that! I'll get a day off here too.
 
Thats a nice calendar!!! I really like the pic of your families dealership. Glad to see you have the calendar. Nick
 
What a great find. Don't you wonder how it is some items like that survived in such good condition for over 60 years. Glad it is where it belongs, Rod.
 
That is a nice addition to your collection Loren. Does that billboard on the dealer photo say Maple Syrup? Don
 
Very cool Loren
I remember going by your place as a kid in the 60's and 70's and looking at all that nice equipment parked out front. Did you send out flyers like a lot of the dealerships back then? I remember my dad getting them from Hayner, and I think Lane Way - that was my favorite reading as a kid

Love the picture of the dealership, lots of memories
