Our family is Alice Chalmers enough that our wedding was actually a centerfold spread in the old Alice News Collectors magazine.

All right, Dean, Addison, anybody remember what color the Allis-Chalmers tractors were known for?
AddisonUNKNOWN
Not me, no.

I'm gonna guess red.
Bridget RiedelCORRESPONDENT
They probably weren't bringing out their best piece of equipment, as some might argue, although they were doing a nice job with some high horsepower tractors as we got to around that early 1980s mark.
Bridget RiedelCORRESPONDENT
So they were trying to build world-class horsepower, but they met their demise because first in a series of mainline manufacturers to be sold or merged with others was happening.
Bridget RiedelCORRESPONDENT
Um, their new owner became Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz, and they did not continue the Allis-Chalmers line as it stood in North America.
Bridget RiedelCORRESPONDENT
And good morning to you too.
