IN Mason Machinery one of 10 dealers honored nationally There were only ten Deutz-Al-li- s dealerships recognized in the United States and Canada for volume sales in 1989 and Mason Machinery, Aurora, was one of them. According to Feliz Patterson, District Manager for Deutz-Alli- s Corporation, Mason Machinery is a perfect example of a dealership with persistence, good service and a great public image and for these reasons was a top tractor sales dealership last year. There product knowledge is rated as outstanding , said Patterson as he described the talents of Hilmar Mason who started the dealership in 1956 and now Allen who took over the reins some six years ago. Todays farmer is looking at a younger ownermanager dealer. There is just a younger clientele in agriculture these days and the dealership has to address this change, he continued. Mason Machinery was the only dealership in Pattersons district which received the honor. He is based in Oklahoma. Allen Mason attributed the dealerships success on a couple of factors. The first being a couple of good years economically speaking with higher prices for hay and cattle but he also felt that the rancher and farmer was finally realizing the quality of the aircooled Deutz- - Allis line. He currently serves an area with a 125 mile radius around Aurora. The customer is now coming to us wanting to buy our product lines and it has not always been that way, said Allen. Patterson also explained that one v. ay the district office can tell the success of a dealership is by the amount of complaints received from the consumer.
