Tractor Show

April 5, 1933  Strong north storm.  Peter F. Rempels came for dinner.  Then I went with him to Meade to the tractor show. 


A couple days before, Pete Reimer had come over to work on the Siemens’ tractor.  But the repairs must not have gone well.  

Peter and Aganetha Rempel (Margaret's sister) came over for dinner, and then Cornelius went to the tractor show in Meade with his brother-in-law.  Spring was the season when farmers would buy new tractors as they got ready to go into the fields again, so one of the dealers in town must have had a show to attract interest in their new models.  Cornelius was probably not just window-shopping because a couple months later he bought a new John Deere.
