Power Equipment Trade’s January/February issue spotlights the optimism that dealers across the country are looking ahead to in 2005 due to strong commercial sales growth and a brightening economy bolstered by a strong housing market and stable interest rates. Also featured is Wisconsin’s Anderson-Thomas Co. LLC, which was owned by the same family until it was sold in 2001as a distributor bought the dealer and went retail. The Dealer News section highlights the Midwestern dealership Popp’s Outdoor Equipment, which survived the loss of a partner, and an article discusses how all dealers need qualified technicians but sometimes need to be creative in finding them.
