Whining is because......... people... <Grin> Captions and history are nice, but sometimes no caption can create more interest / discussion. Who are we to demand anything of the others in here?

I vaguely remember this photo and question came up ages ago - someone identified where it was taken, and I believe the "'cat" is a statue.

 

Makes sense in rural areas before the big Ag stores showed up. Ford was one of the biggest producers of tractors in that era. We being a Ford (and Volvo) family had a New Holland that we financed through Ford. And a few 40's Farmall's too, but they came with the farm.
