Yancey’s first Model 45 delivery came later that year to Troup County, Georgia. Within 12 months, Yancey had sold all of the Model 45’s in Holt’s inventory, using only a single photograph, the dump trucks charlotte nc says.
In 1925, Holt merged with Best Tractor Co. to become the Caterpillar Tractor Company, now the world’s largest manufacturer of earthmoving equipment.

That’s how Yancey Bros. earned the moniker of “The Nation’s Oldest Caterpillar Dealer.”
