Recker first started providing area fanners with the latest farm equipment, parts and service. From hum- bte beginnings, Recker Farm Equtpment.kas grown into a multi-million dollar company employing 25 area residents. "His business began tack in 1932 in a shed beside the old blacksmith shop in Dashwood," said Bill Becker, president of Becker Farm Equip- ment. In 1932, McCormick -Deering, now Case iH, inquired in the'vieinity of Dashwood'fbr a new equipment dealer. V.L. Becker was recommended, but it took some time before he was convinced to set up shop. With the Depression still in full force, Becker had the foresight to sec the quality of the full line of equipment and the need for expert service and repairs. "The early years proved to the Beckers that the only way to succeed in this business was to concentrate on the day-to-day need of farmers," con- -firmed'Bitl. "That -meant V.L. Becker had tri concentrate -on repairs, pacts and service." In his first year of operation, V.L. Becker didn't sell one piece of new farm equipment. He stayed in business strictly on the strength of his re- pair business. This is a lesson that has not gone unnoticed today. New equipment sales can be tied to the economy, commodity prices and a host at, other external issues, but parts and service are something that every- body needs 24 hours a day° 365 days a year. This has been the backbone of 60 successful years for Becker Farm Equipment. In 1948, V.L. Becker became V.L. Becker & Sons as Bill Becker offi- cially joined the company. Bill had been working in the business since he was a small boy, and that type of tamily tradition continues today with Bill as president, Bob Becker as general manager, John Becker in transporta- uon, and the third generation Becker - Joe Becker as service manager. Becker Farm Equipment's commitment to the community they serve has not changed over the years. Customer Appreciation Days and Pancake Days put on by V.L. Becker were social highlights for the mostly rural community. They were a chance for the kids and adults to sec a movie picture, find out about new products and services, or just to meet and talk with neighbours. Becker Farm Equipment remains an active partner in the community, sponsoring athletic teams and clubs, and raising funds for local non-profit groups. - ln recognition of their 60 years of service, Becker Farm Equipme it is holding an anniversary celebration throughout this week with many spe- cial events. The festivities kick off Wednesday morning beginning at 8:30 a.m. with the Becker Farm Equipment Pancake Breakfast. In addition to an open house, the 2nd annual Farm Equipment Auction will be held along with the 4th annual Parts Trade Fair, 8th annual Hardi Sprayer Clinic and the Case 11-1 new product introduction. Guest speakers on Friday, February 28 at 9 a.m. will include Peter John- son,.a Soil and Crop Advisor with the Ministry bf Agriculture -and Food; Peter Twynstra, President of the Great Canadian Bean Company; the Hon- ourable Ralph Ferguson, MP for Lambton/Middiesex and special -guest Rosalie Wysocki, performance motivator. from Mississauga. "60 Years of Serving You Right" is the Becker company slogan for 1992. It embodies everything that V.L. Becker stood for over the past 60 years and it will guide Becker Farm Equipment throughout 1992 and be- yond. 1932 1974 Vilta Plan to Attend *ills Annual Sprayer Clihjc Ir 41_ rsday Feb. 27th 1:00 p.m. Sharp LIMITED REGISTRATION Phone Now!
