The Harvester World
DEERING INDUSTRIAL EXHIBIT
During the week beginning November 20th, the Deering Works gave an Industrial Exhibit which will long be remembered by those attending it, as a success- Miss Jeske, Matron of Twine Mill and her assistants ful and educative affair, and the first of its kind ever held. The affair was in charge of a committee composed of H. F. Stemann, chairman; C. F. Mack, Hugo Slivinski, Geo. Lincoln, H. Studemeyer, C. Wendt, and Wm. Clark. It was essentially along the Unes of educating the employes that this exhibit was first given consideration, to promote in them a keener interest in their work and broaden their scope of vision as to what they are working at. Many of the employes had never had an opportunity of seeing the finished machines which they had assisted in making, much less seeing one in operation. On this occasion they had the privi¬ lege of seeing a great many of the machines manufac¬ tured by this company, set up and actually running. This occasion served as a dedication of the new six- story manufacturing building just completed at this works, offering many an opportunity of seeing it. This building is 240 ft. long and 60 ft. wide, constructed of re-enforced concrete throughout, and it is safe to say that it is second to none in this country in the way of modern sanitary equipment as to hghting, heating. ventilation, and toilet facihties, also being absolutely fire-proof. In the test load on a panel 20 x 20 ft. on the first floor, a permanent deflection of less than g'j-inch was visible with a load of 198,000 lbs. The city inspec¬ tor pronounced it one of the finest and best buildings of its kind that he had ever seen. Tickets of admission were issued to the workmen at this works as well as to the employes of the city office and other works of the company located in the city, many of whom availed themselves of the privilege of attending the exhibit. During the week, at least 20,000 were in attendance, and the interest taken in the exhibit by those present was a good indication of the enthusi¬ asm. The employes brought their families and it was an interesting sight to see the men with their wives and children looking at the machines aud the other things of interest which were there to be seen. On the second floor of the building, the first thing that met the view was the twine booth, a very artistic¬ ally arranged exhibit prepared by the Deering Twine Mills, showing the twine from the raw state as it was cut in the sisal fields of Yucatan on through its various steps including the finished article in balls ready for the binding of the grain. The twine was so arranged as to give the booth the appearance of a summer house with a thatched roof. The guessing contest in which prizes were given to the three guessing nearest the mark was well patronized. A large bowl filled with kernels of corn was suspended from a tripod aud the final count and check up on the guesses was most surprising. The actual number in the bowl was 28,040. There were a number of guesses at 28,000, and a great many others all the way from 1,200 to many millions. Arranged along the center of the haU beyond the twine booth were the refreshment booths, where doughnuts, apples, pop corn, and sweet cider were served, and the advertising booth where advertising novelties were distributed. Each person attending was furnished with tickets entitling him to refreshments and souvenirs consisting of novelties provided by the ad¬ vertising department. On the left hand side of the haU a 6-H. P. Famous gas engine, made at the Milwaukee Works, was in opera¬ tion furnishing power to run a binder binding the grain, a grain drill sowing the seed, a Piano reaper, and a Deering mower, all working and showing how they are controlled and operated in the field. At each of the machines in action, were stationed men demon¬ strating and operating them, who explained to the visitors the various workings of the machines.

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. |
