The Harvester World
11
BORN Creeds of Great Business Men William Deering did his greatest work after he thought he had permanently retired from business. Thus, we aim at one thing and hit something else. The knowledge we gain in one line often helps us to succeed m an entirely different line. Mr. Deering was born and brought up in the woolen business in Maine. First, he made woolen goods, and then, to better sell them, opened stores in various parts of the country; and later, to form a complete hne, he added cotton fabrics. After thirty years of this work, he sold out and retired. He had done well. But in the West, whither he journeyed, he was to do better. At Chicago he met an old friend, E. H. Gammon, who was building Marsh harvesters. His friend needed money. Mr. Deering accommodated him, and later was persuaded to take payment in stock. Before he knew it, Mr. Deering was actively engaged m the management of a business which was to carry him to leader¬ ship in the harvesting machine industry. He became interested in the wire binder, and then along came John F. Appleby with his binding attachment using twine. Mr. Deering's 3000 twine binders made lor the 'harvest of 1880 required twme, and fortunately his long experience in spmning wool came into play, and after much work and an enduring faith in human ingenuity he nnally succeeded in producing the first hard-nbre bmding twine ever used. From that day. wheat crops have grown larger, and the harvesting has been done more easily and quickly. Mr. Deering saw far enough into the future to know that for the machines to do the best work, the manufacturer of binders must manufacture the binding twine used on them. scii.he made twine. Today is soon tomorrow, and great business men take care of the present by taking care oi the future. This Mr. Deering did with rare foresight and judgment by gradually improving and adding to ^^he Deermg line until every machine was satisfactory and the line was complete. COMPLETE line is a strong line for a dealer to handle. Not only is the IHC line complete, but every line of machines is complete in itself. That is to say, every machine is built in various sizes, and to meet the requirements of the farms in different parts of the world. This helps to build a dealer's business large and sure. When a dealer knows that he can furnish a machine which will overcome any difficulty, he cannot have other than a feeling of busmess safety. This feeling of safety is communicated to his customers, and they return it with increased confidence. In¬ creased confidence is simply another name for increased sales. There are complete repair parts for all machines sold. This rounds out the complete IHC line of harvesting, haying, and corn machines, twine, threshers, manure spreaders, hay presses, cream separators, gasoline engines and tractors, wagons, motor vehicles, and tillage implements. It will be worth your while to investigate this complete line, and also to know about the many advantages of our selling plan. We help the dealer to help himself. We invite you to write the nearest general agent or blockman, or the Chicago office, and get full Information about the I H C line, how it is sold, and the service which,, helps a dealer to sell it.

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. |
