Bader Bros. Inc. has been serving area farmers ever since they have been turning earth in Tuscola County. With locations in Reese, Birch Run and Saginaw, the authorized John Deere dealer serves not only this county, but Saginaw, Bay, and Genesee counties.  Charles Bader, a Reese area farmer, bought the dealership from Sam Burrill in 1934.  With the addition of his sons in 1947 Harry, Henry, and James, the company name changed after 13 years from Chas. Bader Implements to Chas. Bader and Sons.  When James opened a separate store  in Sandusky Mi. in 1960,  the name changed again after 13 years to Bader Bros. Inc. In 1974 a second dealership was built in Birch Run Mi. to better serve Bader Bros Inc. expanding customer area.  Computerization was added in 1988 with on-line hook-up with the Birch Run office, making Bader Bros. Inc. an even stronger dealership.  At that time a second story was added to the Reese dealership. This allowed space for four offices, an employee lunch room, and a computer room.  In 1990, a 5000 square foot addition was built on to the main building at Reese which provided more service area. Bader Brothers acquired the former Burger Sales on Bay Road in Saginaw in the spring of 2003 and opened their third dealership.  In May 2006, a 3600 sq. ft. addition was constructed to allow for more service capacity at the Saginaw location.  Remodeling in Birch Run is currently taking place and should be completed by early 2008.

In December 2007 Bader Bros. Inc. acquired the former Case dealership in Hillman Michigan making this the fourth store in the Bader Brothers group.  The building is located on M32, just two miles west of M65.  Plans are in motion for a 40' x 60' addition for retail and parts display space.   This location will serve Alpena county and all of northeastern Michigan.

From the original 66' wide lot in 1934 to the present full line John Deere Farm, Lawn, and Garden Equipment dealership with four locations, the Bader Brothers stores have been known for their stability and good service.  David Bader, third generation and son of Henry is President of the company.  David's wife Milinda, handles the Accounts Payable and is our office manager.   Kyle and Kerri  Bader, 4^th generation and children of David and Milinda, work in the service and accounting departments .  Bader Brothers Inc. remains strong and continues to expand and grow using a simple philosophy of attracting and servicing new customers while remaining attentive to present customer needs.  Bader Brothers Inc. expects to serve Mid-Michigan and northeast Michigan for years to come with quality products and honesty in dealing.
