1949 Yellow pages ad for Bick Implement, 309 Lincoln Ave., York, NE. They were dealers for CASE farm implements and DEMPSTER (windmills and water pumps, etc.) The OLD ABE on the globe CASE trademark has its own fascinating history.

The location was later incorporated into TOMS PRODUCE (WM76GP), followed by TOMS SPORTING GOODS. By 1980, it was incorporated into, and became the front portion of, GRAND CENTRAL FOODS. The approximate dates were gleaned by looking at telephone directory listings in successive years of the local telephone directory.
