How long have you been in Great Falls?
WRS came to Great Falls in 1962. In 1953, Western Ranch
Supply was established as a steel building distributor by
Ray Frank and Tom Warsinske. However, Tom and Ray were
quick to note opportunities in farm store merchandising. In
1959, the switch became final when a complete animal health
department was installed, and their most profitable department
became the manufacturing and sale of horse trailers. Ray
sent Delbert Pasha to open the Great Falls store in the old
milk depot on 10th Avenue South. The store then moved to
a building across from the fairgrounds on 3rd Street NW, and
in 1973, it was again moved to a building a few blocks north,
which Ray sold to Walgreens on 3rd Street Northwest. In 2006,
we moved to our current location at 4000 River Drive North.
