| Description: |
Claude and Jewel Torrence came to the Valley in the first
wave of settlers, moving from Pomona ,Ca. to Holtville, Ca.,"
they established a home place and ranch near Heber, Ca. .
The Torrence's were originally from Colorado, where they
were farmers.
Claude and Jewel Torrence started “Torrence's Farm Implements”
in 1939. Prior to that time Claude ran an automotive service/gas
station in Heber, Ca.
During the late 1930's farming in the Imperial Valley was
rapidly growing due to the now abundant Supply of water from
the Colorado river thru the all American canal, farmers growing
crops in the area needed somewhere and someone to service their
equipment; Claude Torrence and his service station became that
place. From that day Claude saw the opportunity to not only
provide his customers quality service but also quality equipment
thus “TORRENCE'S FARM IMPLEMENTS” was born.
Luther Hester, a Heber local; who had married Claude's daughter
Helen, became Claude's chief sales representative and effectively
directed the growth and future of “Torrence's Farm Implements”.
After Claude's death, Luther became president of the growing company-
Jewel Torrence (Claude's wife), Helen and Luther managed the business
and employed a few service men. Luther sold the equipment and managed
the store while Jewel and Helen handled all of the finances.
The company that was started as a service station, had branched out
into farm machinery sales and became synonymous with the local hay
industry.
