Tractor Nostalgia
Elwin Martens of St Johns Michigan was kind of enough to share this bit of history with us. The picture was taken on August 11th 1947 in St Johns Michigan in front of Egan Tractor Sales. The employees of Egan’s watched as they received their first Ford 8N tractor. Pictured in the window (from left to right) are Jay Egan, George Smith, Larry Burns and Arthur Martens (Elwin’s father), all anxiously awaiting the delivery.

Ok, I would like the sign, the truck, and the tractor please…Haha! Cool picture!
Don’t forget the toys in the window!
I remember my Dad having a half ton (or whatever it was) version of that truck.
Would love to have it today.
