An interesting little story on C.R. "Butch" Ratcliff. Butch was a nickname given to him by the townsfolk. He would open the dealership at 6am each morning. Prior to opening the business or after closing down for the day, he would go down the street to the Cigar and Smoke Shop where he would purchase a cigar. The smoke shop had spitoons on the floor and all but a few people would actually "hit" those spitoons. As far as I know, from the story that was told to me, this dealership was in operation from the 30's up until the end. From 1942-1946 C.R. "Butch" Ratcliffe was elected Cass County Sheriff as well.
