Here is a photo of Samson Hardware here in Fairbanks, around 1930. Samsons was the Ford Agency back in the Model T and Model A days. I knew an old fellow who bought his first Model T there at age 15.
"Here’s a photo of the high water mark in the 1930 flood of the old Samson Hardware. Notice they were a CAT & Ford dealer back then. In fact, they were also a Willys-Overland dealer at one point."
Not many Ford Agencies further north than this.
Samson Hardware is still in business by the way.
