Or some might call them coffee mugs. Dad got these at a farm auction about 1991 I think. I have six of them. I don't think the dealership exists anymore.

Working in sales many years ago you see a struggling business start to
advertise hopeing to drum up business. Usually by that time things are not
looking good. Sad but true.

That's strange Jeff, it appears to me that 99% of the advertising that I see is being bought by very successful businesses.
 
I find it humorous that the legal name would come out ?Farm Supply Limited? as in today?s world, the mega dealerships we have left are now pretty limited in surface
and care......

(quoted from post at 17:36:29 12/25/19) Merry Christmas Rusty6, I really enjoy the videos you post showing your part of the world and the
farming methods you use!

Thanks and Merry Christmas to all you on the forum as well. Got another video ready to upload later this evening.
Regarding the coffee mug advertising, keep in mind it was from the 1980s. Everybody advertised farm equipment for as long as I can remember and beyond. Dealer consolidation is just another part of life in rural Sask. Everything consolidating including grain companies, schools, banks. Everything is bigger and further apart. There was a time we could haul our grain to the closest town to sell. Deposit the cheque in the bank and buy a new piece of machinery or vehicle in that same village. Now we are lucky to have a post office and gas station.

Merry Christmas, Rusty. Yes the John Deere dealership the cups came from was bought out by Nelson Motors in Avonlea a number of years ago. My neighbour who is has a distant connection with your friend Don used to deal with McLeods a lot back in the 1970's and 80's. I remember going along down there with him occasionally. The owner, Cecil McLeod, was a real nice guy.

Thanks Jim and Merry Christmas to you too. I figured you might recognize that dealer's name as it closer to your part of the world. I think Avonlea is under the South Country "umbrella" now, same as the ones around me.

No Avonlea is still owned by the Nelson family. They bought up Radville and a number of other JD outlets in the south. South Country is an amalgamation of the dealers in Regina, Southey, Raymore and a number of others.

Right. I was thinking of Assiniboia.

Rusty, dealer consolidation is going on south of the border as well. I see it as good for the manufacturer because it reduces competition within the brand because the end user often has to travel a great distance in order to get a competitive quote. One of the manufacturers' greatest tools in forcing the consolidation is to force dealers to undertake great debt to bring their facilities up to the manufacturers' minimum standards. Some will not so they are forced to sell out. Two years ago my state of NH passed a law banning this practice. It protects car dealers and other businesses too. One friend is on the other side of this. He used to be a regular at the tractor pulls along with his son. Then he bought out another dealer, and has not been seen since. Subsequently he bought a third dealership.
 
Merry Christmas to all here, even though I'm a day late.

Thanks for all your video work Rusty. It's always neat to see the variety you create.
