The Harvester World A Jolly Snowshoe Tramp By H. A. BoRDEAU, General Agent, Montreal, P. Q "The members of the I H C Maple Leaf club had a very pleasant snowshoe tramp on the evening of February 26th last, the run being from the base of Mount-Royal to Lumkins' famous resort at Cote des Neiges. "The weather was perfect, a clear starry sky, crisp air, snow of the whitest purity, and the outing was a decided success." J-The above is a news item which was gleaned from the Montreal "Star" of Febru¬ ary 28th. It refers to the lately organized snowshoe club formed by the staff em¬ ployes of the International Harvester Com¬ pany of America at Montreal. Snowshoeing is Canada's national win- endurance as well as for the careful train¬ ing to which they have been subjected. The club's costume is a most decorative and pretty affair, as well as a very service¬ able one. It consists of white, heavy ribbed wool sweaters decorated on the breast with a large size green colored maple leaf bearing on its center the club monogram I H C in bold red letters. The girls for the most part wear white wool toques while the boys have red ones. All have on heavy red ribbed stockings and moccasins. The girls have serviceable short skirts, and all are girdled with red tasselled sashes. Taken all in all, they have a very jaunty air; the boys carry themselves with a freedom of movement, and the girls have a dainty sturdiness which is most captivating.

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. |
