Plevna Implement Co. Celebrates 75 Years
Published: Friday, September 11, 2020
Plevna Implement Co. is celebrating 75 years in business with a nearly weeklong slate of promotions and activities to mark the milestone.
In 1945, Emerson P. Shrock and brother James F. Shrock opened the Plevna Garage in Plevna, Ind.
The two began selling Oliver tractors upon returning from World War II. The business continued throughout the years, overcoming challenges and celebrating victories, and expanding its offerings along the way. To memorialize the achievements and the dedication of the Shrock brothers, attendees are given a free 75th Anniversary hat and T-shirt.

We're thankful for the recognition given to us, and we want to recognize all small businesses throughout this nation that work hard everyday to serve their customers and create a great place for their employees. We enjoy our work and are aiming for at least 75 more years of excellence for our customers," said Kent Shrock, general manager.
