Y.L. Bckoi machinery
now at two locations,
Dashwood and Exeter
One of Western Ontario's oldest
farm machinery dealerships is ex-
panding.
Becker Farm Equipment Limited
of Dashwood announced this week
they have purchased the N.T.
Monteith Ltd. farm equipment
business at the south end of Exeter.
Valentine Becker established an In
ternational Harvester dealership in
Dashwood in 1932 as V.L. Becker and
Sons and the company has gained an
excellent reputation in the farm
equipment business during the past 54
years.
The building on Dashwood's Main
street which houses the farm
machinery operation was built and of-
ficially opened in 1948.
London district officer manager for
International Harvester H. V.
Nicholls cut the ribbon for the official
opening in 1948. He pointed out how
Mr. Becker had from a small begin-
ning been able to expand because of
his continuous efforts to give his
customers best possible service when
and where it was required.
Thomas Pryde, the Provincial
Legislative Assembly representative
for Huron at the time spoke of the im-
portance of the farm equipment
dealer to a community and the many
activities in which Valentine Becker
had taken an active part.
His community affairs participa-
tion included the Dashwood school
board village trustee board and Hay
township council as a councillor,
deputy -reeve and reeve for a number
of years.
Valentine Becker now at the age -of
83 visits the Dashwood shop every day
and picks up the mail at the post
office.
Becker Farm Equipment is now
headed by Valentine's sons Bill and
Bob. When the firm incorporated in
1975 Bill Becker was named general
manager.
After 22 years of experience as
general manager and financial cancer
in the construction business in
Western Canada, Bob Becker joined
the family firm in 1985.
Beckers' will be selling Case Inter-
national machinery and a wide range
of other trade names from the
Dashwood and Exeter locations.
With the acquisition of the Monteith
business, Bob Becker says, "We will
maintain our Dashwood operation at
the same level, but, feel the addition
of the Exeter facility will allow us to
inore efficienty handle the complete
line of Case International
machinery."
The IH lines include combines, all
wheel drive tractors and Uniloaders.
Becker's also offer 10 different short
lines including Kongskilde, Vicon,
Hardi, Unverferth- McCurdy, Market
Farm.
Also available are full lines of
garden and lawn equipment from Cub
Cadet and Yardman from push lawn
mowers to large riding machines and
garden tractors in all sizes.
Under the direction of Bill, the
Becker firm has earned a reputation
as one of the best parts departments
in the area and in sales as providing
very reliable equipment at com-
petitive prices.
All employees of Monteith's in Ex-
eter are being retained by Becker's.
They are parts manager Ed Skinner,
parts man Roy Stover, service
manager Brad Murray and mechanic
Dennis McBride.
In addition to Bill and Bob Becker,
another brother John is responsible
for equipment transportation. A third
generation Becker is Joe who assists
with parts duties in Dashwood.
Also part of the Dashwood opera-
tion are sales rep Ralph Geiger,
mechanics Adrian and Gilbert Brand
and secretary Kathy Keller.
Bob Becker anticipates future ad-
ditional staff requirements in sales
and administration.
