Executive Starts
Career as Hay,
Cattle Trucker
Editors notf: John T«*nborg, u
former O’Neill area resident
was recently honored by b**ing
chosen “Man of the Week" by
the Wichita, Kan., paper. Dur
ing the same week he was giv
en another honor by being cho
sen “Good Gay” for the day
by the local radio station.
Stranded in Omaha, Neb., 26
years ago fay a violent snow
storm, a cattle trucker tried his
hand at selling cars and trucks
Successful in his baptism of
salesmanship, he since has held
executive sales posts in some of
the largest cities in the Middle
West.
Since 1357 this ex-trucker—
John Tenborg, 6321 Jacqueline—
has been president and general
manager of Mack Truck Sales
of Wichita Inc., 2441 S. W’est.
The Wichita firm was establish
ed by Tenborg after he spent
17 years as an excutive in the
employ of two of the nation’s
largest truck manufactures.
Firm Expands
Few Mack trucks were sold in
the Wichita area prior to 1957
Since establishment of Tenborg’s
firm more than 2f/J of the com
pany's huge diesels have been
sold.
Bom in Emmet, Neb., Sept. 2.
1908, Tenborg earned his automo
tive spurs by driving a Mode!
T Ford to high school in O’Neill.
Neb., 12 miles away. His father
was a rancher and farmer whose
deals included the sale cf horses
to the government during World
War I.
After high school Tenborg ac
quired a truck rig and hauled
cattle and hay to Omaha and
Sioux City, la. It was on a cattle
hauling trip in 1936 that Tenborg
was caught in deep snow and 11
below-zero cold at Omaha.
Wandering through Omaha
while stranded. Tenborg deckled
to sell cars and was given a j
trial by a local used car mer-!
chant. Tenborg made contact with
the owner of junked truck beds,
made improvised coal trucks and
sold the lot clean This earned
him a promotion as manger of
another of the firm's used car
lots.
SjM-ciall/es in Truck*
Early success in truck sales
interested Tenborg in the vast
potential of trucking He has
concentrated in truck sales ever
since, with the exception of a
short period during which he sold
farm tractors and established
dealerships in Iowa, Nebraska
and South Dakota
Armed with promising man
agerial and sales ability, Ten
borg accepted a jx»itlon in 1M0
from White Motor Co. Tlie Ohio
based firm appointed Tenborg
wholesale manager of White’s
Kansas City division, which han
dled Kansas and half of Missouri.
He was named Kansas City
branch manager after a few
years in White’s employ and in
1943 was transferred to St. Louis,
Mo., as branch manager. Success
in the Missouri districts earned
Tenborg a position in 1945 as
branch manager of the huge
Chicago, 111., White- district.
After establishing a sales re
cord in Chicago, T< nborg was
moved to Houston, Tex, to di
rect White’s operations in that
booming Texas city. A year af
ter arriving in Houston, Tenborg
decided to quit the sales game
and retire to a farm he had
bought near his birthplace.
Farming wasn’t tie- life for
