The Harvester World

of which about 1,000 are under cultivation. The re¬ mainder is covered with native timber, mostly pine. Oats, rye, and wheat are raised, as well as hay, a lot of the latter being necessary for the long winter, to feed the draft animals and the ISO cows on the place. The next day a visit was made to the factories. A dam was buUt on a natural rock foundation, which has a drop of thirty-six feet, and from which 2,000 horse¬ power is obtained. Of this 1,800 is used to supply a pulp miU and the rest for an implement factory, machine shop, and electric hght. The pulp mill is as up-to-date as can be found anywhere in the world. The logs go in at one end, are cut in lengths of about two feet aud the bark taken off. All the sawdust and shavings from barking pass into a furnace, used for drying the pulp. When the pulp comes out of the ovens, it is near the starting point, and alongside of a railroad, where it is baled, put on cars and taken to Juankoski. At Juankoski it is put in warehouses and eventually loaded on steam¬ ers for Wyborg, from which port it is sent to the mar¬ kets of the world, quite a lot going to Buenos Aires and Hamburg. The wood used for making pulp is tree tops and branches which cannot be used for lumber, and which otherwise would be a waste. On the opposite side of the dam are located the implement factory and machine shop where small threshers, engines, some dairy machines, etc. are made. The most of these are sold to A. B. Agros, Helsingfors. In the foundry I saw castings that would be a credit to most foundries in the United States. Riding in a small boat, I was told the kerosene motor was made here. Quite a few of them are turned out, as there is a great demand here for marine engines. About two miles from this point the Baron has a saw mill, cutting lumber for his factory and for the market. All the factories are supplied with electric lights which are not of much use at this time, as one can easily read a newspaper at midnight during June and July, but which are needed nearly the entire day in December and January. In these works there are about SOO men employed. They with their families form the larger part of Stromsdal. When the factories were built, homes for the men were needed, and these were mostly put up by the Baron. They are all neatly kept, and around each Stanislau Grodzki, McCormick representative for Poland is a garden with vegetables, potatoes predominating. The village has a church and three school houses, all put up by the Baron. He also put up a large two-story bath Iiouse for the factory people, most of whom, and especially the moulders, make daily use of it. A large assembly hall with a stage at one side, and a kitchen at another, is for the free use of the employes. Here they have entertainments of various kinds and dances, and their band gives concerts during the winter. For the summer, two band stands have been put up. When I started for Finland, I looked for a country of lakes and rivers, timbered tracts, and stony ground, with farms here and there where the soil was tillable, and to a large extent I was not disappointed; but I never expected to find what I had the pleasure of see¬ ing at Stromsdal, way in the interior of Finland and within 2\ degrees of the Arctic Circle. While I admired the natural scenery very much, I admired more the work of man in this faraway northern country, a work which is only commenced and which will be greatly enlarged in all branches in the next few years.

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. |
