PTLA

PTLA is cemented in our foundation

Praise the Lord Always!

The Nordstrom’s were not always thinking about PTLA. In 1972, Marie Nordstrom was invited to a Christian Women’s luncheon by her mother-in-law Leona Nordstrom. At this event Marie heard the gospel of Jesus explained in a wonderful, simple way! She prayed and gave her life to the Lord. Art and their young family also did soon after, Marie was on fire for the Lord and she started generations of faith for her family!

Things started to change for them because their hearts changed. They saw PTLA and the bible verse First Thessalonians 5:18 and they knew it was for them! The first public testimony of their new faith was to paint PTLA on the recently constructed hot rod Ford 8N tractor, shoehorned with a V8 Mustang engine, and used at the local dirt track Huset’s Speedway.

    PTLA for us is Praise the Lord Always! Since then, PTLA has been etched on everything as the young married couple worked on the farm and eventually built a business on that very dairy farm. Today you see it proudly displayed in the lobby of their newest operations Nordstrom’s 2.0. In that same lobby, you will see that very special “Nordstrom’s Special” 1951 Ford 8N Tractor, with PTLA still on the back. While it is painted differently than the original location, the joy remains the same! You will find PTLA “Easter Eggs” in our logo and on all our advertising both print, on our vehicles and in voice, everywhere we present ourselves to the public. We have also etched PTLA in all our concrete as we have expanded through the years, cemented forever!

    Like many of you, Nordstrom’s have gone through many obstacles and many celebrations, but PTLA always is the reminder of where our foundation is and all praise goes to the Lord, regardless of the situation.

    God Bless,
    Then Nordstrom’s PTLA
