The Harvester World
A magazine published by the International Harvester Company of America. Issued monthly under the supervision of the Advertising Depart¬ ment. Sent free to all employes who will send their names and addresses to the Advertising Department. Items of interest, photographs, suggestions, and write-ups are solicited froit^ all employes in any branch of the service. Douglas Malcolm, Editor THE HARVESTER WORLD Harvester Building Chicago Vol, 2 CHICAGO, NOVEMBER, 1911 No, 14 This is the "Foreign Field" number, but'from the old familiar faces which are appearing behind accus¬ tomed desks, perhaps it ought to be called the "Home Again" number. ® (® Apropos of the above, green Alpine plush hats and English cut clothing now abound. He isn't called the foreign sales manager because his tastes are not domestic, for, as we understand it, they are. ® ® There is one trait which is markedly characteristic of the Foreign Sales Force. We requested articles and photographs from the various men in the field and they responded nobly with articles. Indeed, we received such an abundance of good material that we could use only a portion of it. Don't imagine because they are not represented in this number that Riga and Nuess, Bordeaux and Vladivostock are not on the map. They are, and we hope we may look forward to good things served up in the Foreign Field Department of future issues. But — and mark this—among the dozens of men who forwarded items for this issue, only seven sent their photographs. Their modesty is equaled only by their business-getting propensities. HEROES UNSUNG This special Foreign Field number is not issued be¬ cause our foreign sales department need any advertising, for they do not. All the advertising we could give them would be insignificant compared with the advertis¬ ing they do for themselves upon the publication of the annual report. The steadily increasing trade which this department is chronicling each year speaks louder in the praise of the men associated with the foreign end of our business than any words of appreciation from our not too facile pen. But words of appreciation they should have, nevertheless, because to a greater or less degree, our foreign trade represents the heroic side of our business. (This does not include the winter pil¬ grimages to Cuba.) It is not an easy matter at the word of command to pack up and move from one part of this country to another, but it is easy com¬ pared with the request to gather j-our lares and penates together in a few trunks, forsake friends and relations, and begin life anew in a distant country, among strange tongues, strange manners, and a minus appreciation of American-made farm machines. Yet this little tragedy has been enacted again and again, by those who have helped build our foreign trade up to its present mark. The writer has talked with our foreign representatives and their wives when they were home on furlough. We have a feeling of shaking hands with people a little bit braver than the ordinary, when we welcome back those who have been managing our foreign offices, selling our product beyond the seas, or setting up our machines on farms where no English is spoken. "We have heard it claimed that our trade names are the best known American names abroad and that the words Champion, Deering, McCormick, Milwaukee, Osborne, and Piano, are oftentimes the only English words known in entire communities. If this is true we I H C men (and women) should be proud of our compan}''s achievement. There is one thing that we know is true, and that is the fact that where our IHC harvesting machines and tillage implements have penetrated, they have brought prosperity and plenty. They have changed the ranking of nations in the commerical world; they have abolished serfdom; and they have dignified farm¬ ing and made of it a profitable pursuit. America may be the home of modern farm machines, but the World is our market. Vive la Foreign Sales Department— Marchons.' ...... " QU (qC V !¦ KENTUCKY The International Harvester Company of America has voluntarily ceased to do business in Kentucky, and will hereafter transact business with the good people of that state on a strictly interstate commerce sales basis. Kentucky has two anti-trust laws ; one prohibits com¬ binations, and the other allows them. The company has been annoyed by a multiplicity of prosecutions, but in four cases out of five, the judgments of conviction were reversed by the Kentucky Court of Appeals. This, however, did not stop the commencement of actions. It is the law of Kentucky that any Commonwealth attorney can begin a penal action in any county in his jurisdiction, and if the jury finds the defendant com¬ pany guilty of the alleged violation of the anti-trust law, they may fix the fine at #500 to §5,000. Three-fourths of this fine, if collected, goes to the lawyers—'one-half to tfie Commonwealth's attorney; one-fourth to the county attorney — and 13 per cent to other court officers — the Commonwealth gets $12 out of each ;^100. Rather than be subject to this continual annoyance and expense, the Company has withdrawn from the state.

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. |
