THIS ITEM IS LOCATED IN OWATONNA MN. I HAVE A FORKLIFT TO HELP LOAD. THIS ARTICAL IS FROM GAS ENGINE MAGAZINE… In 1902, Savage bought legendary pacer Dan Patch. Two years earlier, on Aug. 30, 1900, in his harness race debut as a 4-year-old, Dan Patch trounced the competition. For nearly a decade after that, the horse never lost a race. By 1901, Dan Patchs success was such a foregone conclusion that track owners, fearing staggering financial losses, pulled the horse from the betting, says Gerald Waite in the Dan Patch Project. The son of a country doctor, Savage had spent years trying to launch various agriculture-related businesses. In 1886, he finally found success with the International Stock Food Co. Which soon became known as the worlds largest stock food company. As the company prospered, Savage built a reputation as a master of the art of advertising and promotion. His ability to transform a successful racehorse into a household name is evidence of that. Dan Patch had tied the worlds record for the 1-mile distance for pacing horses in 1902, but he was neither the worlds fastest horse nor a world champion. Nonetheless, thanks to Savages tireless promotion, Dan Patch became known as Worlds Champion Pacing Horse. And that is the same time the Dan Patch name began showing up on farm equipment. Like many factories of the era, M. (another Savage company), based in Minneapolis, did not build engines. Instead, Savage contracted with established manufacturers like Northwestern Steel & Iron Works, Eau Claire, Wisconsin, which manufactured cement mixer engines, among other things. Dan Patch-badged engines and the smaller Dazzle Patch engines appear to have been produced by at least three different companies: Northwestern; Nelson Bros. Saginaw, Michigan; and Gray Motor Co.
