Deere-Webber Co* Minneapolis 1910 Letterhead Buford** re: Parts Order + 2nd Note
*For a time from 1893 and at least into the 1920's, the Minnesota branch location was known as "Deere & Webber" - Webber being John Deere's grandson. Charles Webber was a major figure in the John Deere company's history. In 1877, at age 18, Webber started as a mail clerk / office boy, then 2 years later in sales and credit. In 1881, he was sent to Minneapolis to work with a business partner of John's son, Charles to develop a retail location. By 1883 Webber was a partner. In 1893 the company's ownership had changed and the new name was "Deere & Webber". Webber went on as vice president of Deere & Co for decades until his death in 1944 at age 85.
**Simeon R. Buford opened the region’s largest grocery store in Virginia City, Montana in 1878. Buford’s was the supply point for most of southwestern Montana, including the infant “Butte City.” In later years, Butte’s huge warehouses would, in turn, supply Buford’s own business. The store would become one of the most successful in Virginia City history, operating well into the 1920s
