24 The Harvester World advices bring the sad news that two of our pensioners have died—a McCormick Works pensioner, on August 15th, and an Osborne Works pensioner, on the day before. The combined length of service of these forty-one faithful employes was 1,251 j'ears, and it would require the combined labor of an army of 375,515 men for one full working day to accom¬ plish the work done by the forty-on? pensioners during their term of service. It is the desire of the ofl5cials that each employe should feel that after he has worked long and faithfully he will not be forgotten in his old age, when physical infirmities make it impossible for him to compete with younger and more energetic men. Tlh® IB©iH®ffinll: Ass®ffi5aiftc®na The Employes' Benefit Association has attracted wide attention through¬ out the different manufacturing concerns of the country. Numerous inquiries are coming in asking the details of its or¬ ganization, how it is managed and the results we are securing. It is generally conceded that no other benefit associa¬ tion has been formed on such a liberal basis. That the men themselves realize this is shown by the fact that nearly 20,- 000 employes have become members. Approximately 75 per cent, of the works have joined and 71 per cent, of the office forces. Although distinct from the Com¬ pany in its internal management, co¬ operation is extensive, the Company do¬ nating voluntarily $25,000 should the membership exceed 50 per cent, and $50,- 000 when the membership equals 75 per cent, of the employes. The five leading memberships are: Weber, with 96.9 per cent. Newark Valley, with 95.1 per cent. Deering, with 93.2 per cent. Piano, with 87.9 per cent. Milwaukee, with 81.8 per cent.

Description | Harvester World magazine was first published by International Harvester Company in October of 1909. From 1909 to 1946, Harvester World functioned primarily as an employee magazine, carrying news from various factories, branch houses and dealerships around the world. The magazine included biographical sketches of employees; notices of retirements and promotions; announcements regarding new company initiatives or building projects; and a variety of other news relating to nearly every facet of the company’s world wide operations. The magazine was published by the company’s Advertising Department, and also functioned as a way for headquarters to communicate with dealerships. In 1946, the magazine was redesigned and eventually shifted from an employee magazine to a more customer-oriented focus. By the 1950s, most Harvester Articles were human interest stories centering on the people and organizations who used International Harvester products. At the same time, photography became an increasingly important element in the content and presentation of the magazine. The magazine was discontinued in 1969. |
