The Harvester World S. K. Dennis \eTy valuable knowledge for the line of business that he has always followed. In 1879 Mr. Sharp went into the implement business in his own name, selling the Osborne har¬ vesting ma¬ chinery and a large assort¬ ment of tillage tools. In con¬ nection with this he ran a small shop where he com¬ menced the in¬ vention and de¬ signing of im¬ provements on the goods he sold. In 1881 he engaged with D. M. Osborne & Co. as salesman and expert. In 1882 he was made general agent for east¬ ern New York and a part of the New Eng¬ land states, with headc^uarters at Water- town, N. Y., which position he held until 1891. During this period he suggested many improvements on the Osborne line which were adopted. In view of these valuable ideas, D. M. Osborne & Co. con¬ cluded that Mr. Sharp's services would be of great assistance, and in February 1891 he took charge of the experimental work and at the present time is superintendent. Since 1891 Mr. Sharp has taken out a large number of patents on harvesting ma¬ chines and tillage imple¬ ments which have been de- si gned an d developed by him. In con¬ nection with his experimen¬ tal work, he has had a wide experience with the sales de¬ partment, hav¬ ing traveled ex tensively throughout the United States and parts of "Europe. He has had an excep¬ tional opportunity to know all the require¬ ments of the trade in the different sections of the country. C. S. Sharp C. W.

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. |
