Thought about an interesting topic the other day to discuss. Decals that implement dealers would put on new equipment they sold or traded. Many kinds of decals would available through the brand the dealer sold, others you didn't see much of. The dealer could have their name and contact info put on. Many of these dealers have long since gone on. If you have any pictures of ones on your equipment, please do share. Being wintertime many of our pickers and related items are tucked away in sheds with frozen doors or such.
Here is one of my favorites on one of my Uni pickers. I like the design of the late 1960s NI oval. Yantis Implement of Logansport was one of the largest Uni dealers in the U.S. It was bought several back and is called Country Sales & Service. They had a Uni lifted up and mounted on a sign. Some dealers just used a generic type decal, no brand like a local printing service might rig up.
In the late 1960s NI sent a Uni across the United States driving it and then demonstrating it along the way with strategic stops at dealers for show and service. They called it their Uni -Caravan. At each stop a dealer would put a decal of theirs on the windshield. I"ll have to find that picture and story that I have of that and post it.
Thanks for posting the pics! Most of the dealer decals I remember around here (SW Minnesota) were a generic rectangle with white or black letters on them, and probably the logo of the main brand they sold. Most of the John Deere dealers around here must have used the same base template supplied to them by Deere - they all looked the same except for the dealer name and location. I don't ever recall seeing anyone with a multi-color one like the one you posted.
