Ferguson Motor Co. (Benefit)
All proceeds, minus shipping costs, will be sent to Sanderson Motor Co. for continued recovery of their shop.
Backstory:
On a Sunday in early June, 2 tornadoes struck the West Texas Town of Sanderson. According to Marfa Public Radio, “wind speeds were estimated to have gotten as high as 140 mph.”
One of the businesses affected by this storm was Ferguson Motor Co. In fact, their roof was entirely ripped off.
In the words of owner Jake Harper, “Everything you can imagine started falling out of the clouds,” said Jake Harper, who lives in Sanderson and watched as a funnel cloud formed during the storm. “It was just like raining insulation and pieces of structures.”
“The locals are all helping one another — it’s a revolving door every five minutes someone is coming up,[asking] 'what can I do to help,” Harper said. “Bringing materials to other people, dropping tools off to one another, driving around dropping off water.”
Now as they seek to get back to Normal we want to do something to help out a bit.
So why is DeuxSouth doing something about it?
1. I grew up with family all over West Texas; my grandpa used to be able to name high school football coaches from Ozona to El Paso and was versed in the local culture and businesses of every town.
2. A small business in trouble anywhere is a small business in trouble everywhere. The forces on mom-and-pop entrepreneurs are growing, from Amazon and rising real estate costs to AI. So the battle continues, and every little bit helps.
