Vavrina Inc.

Vavrina Inc. has its roots dating back to 1922. At this time a young entrepreneur, Joe Vacin began a hardware and automotive business in the growing small town of Clarkson, Nebraska. Later in the decade he added a John Deere implement line to his expanding business. Although maintaining and sustaining a business in rural Nebraska during the difficult thirties, Mr. Vacin was able to make his business successful. His secret to success was treating his customers fairly and providing the service that these customers needed. During this same time, he took his 10 year old fatherless nephew, Ron Vavrina under his wing. Ron joined the business immediately after his graduation from high school. The two even expanded the implement business into the nearby community of Dodge, NE. Consecutive dry years during the 50’s forced them to consolidate back into Clarkson. During the 60’s Mr. Vacin relinquished his daily management duties of the business to his nephew.
