Minneapolis Moline office was near Miller's Market. The later moved west of town towards the VFW club. Then store became Doege Hardware.
from web search: The Minneapolis-Moline company was formed in 1929 after a merger between the Moline Implement Company, the Minneapolis Threshing Machine Company and the Minneapolis Steel & Machinery Company.
They started their tractor business with the production of the Twin City models which were carryovers formally built by the Minneapolis Steel & Machinery Company. Production of this tractor continued through 1934 and was followed by many other popular models of tractors - one of the most extensive in the industry at that time.
Minneapolis-Moline was acquired by the White Motor Company in 1963.
