There was a combined Case and Oliver dealership here at Nevada,MO.It was Nolin Equipment Company..I can remember them being in business in to the early 1960's as they had a new 1800 Oliver hooked to a 6 bottom plow out front.They were gone before the 1850's came out. In the 1950's as a little kid I used to go in Nolins with Dad when he got parts for his Case A-6 combine.I can remember getting tractor sales lit there.They sold a new Case 800 combine to a neighbor. I've heard that the little town of Milo,MO just to the SW of me had a Case dealer in the 1940's.I'm not sure whom owned it. Lamar,MO had a Case dealer in to the 1970's.First it was Fields and then later Todds.I remember a Case dealer at Bolivar,MO in the 1960's. Harwood,MO had a Case dealer called Gammon Equipment from the the 1960's in to the early 80's.They sold a few 30 series but mostly 70 series. Ft Scott,KS had a Case dealer called Lalmans if I remember right.They went out in the 1970's? Thomas Implement at Altamont,KS was a huge Case dealer.They are still in business today as Case-IH. Traveling in central Kansas as a kid in the 1950's-60's I remember lots of Case dealers.There were L-LA Case tractors everywhere. We used to drive by a huge Case dealer at Argonia,KS but I cant remember the name.Several of my neighbors grew up on a big wheat farm at Conway Springs,KS.Their Dad bought Case tractors at Argonia.My one neighbor still has his Dads old 1957 Case 900 LP that was bought new there.He classic pulls with it and I see they have come up with a twin to it.
