STORIES OF SUCCESS
HE WENT BROKE, BUT FORGOT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT HAVE you ever gone broke? If you have, how did you take it? in Indiana there once lived a man who put fifty dollars into an envelope, and then for safe keeping hid the envelope in the clock. It was one of those tall grandfather clocks. One day his wife took a notion to clean house and so she threw the accumulated rubbish cut of the clock into the fire. For the rest of his days her husband went about with an aggravated case of dumps; from the smoke of that fifty he built air castles of what might have been. This man was in no way related to T J. Turley, who lives in Kentucky. Mr. Turley went broke— dead broke — but he forgot to complain about it He looked failure straight in the face, smiled, and failure hung its head and sneaked away. Turley is sure that many of our blessings arrive with masks on. "That failure was the best lesson I ever learned," he says. No man is down and out until he thinks he is. In 1895, Mr. Turley started to work for the Deering Har¬ vester Company. First he was salesman, next blockman, and then for three years he was general agent at Louisville. He took his savings, and with them opened a little store at Owensboro. That was twelve years ago. Today, the T. J. Turley Co. Is one of the largest hardware and implement establishments south of the Ohio river. In a dozen years the floor space has grown from 2,800 to 66,000 square feet, and during 191 1 about 300 carloads of harvesting machines, tillage implements, gasoline engines, manure spreaders, vehicles, hardware, tools, seeds, etc., were sold. Associated with Mr. Turley are R. B. Flaherty, J. D. Hays, and a hard-working, much-interested group of employes. Pick good associates, then treat them well, and success will follow, is the advice of Turley. Those five or six years spent with the Deering Harvester Co. were years of right training. "The broad gauge principles of the Deering Company have had a great influence on my life and work, and I attribute to that source the best part of our present business success," says Mr. Turley. The T. J. Turley Co. sticks to the Deering machines. They are old tried-and-true friends — belong to the Turley family, as it were. Since the opening of the little store at Owensboro back in 1900, this firm has sold close to 3,000 Deering binders, mowers, rakes, hay tedders, I H C engines, and the like. The broad gauge principles of the Deering Company are the broad gauge principles of the International Harvester Company of America. The "quality," "square dealing," and "never give up" foundation stones upon which rest the prosperity of the T. J. Turley • Com¬ pany underlie many another firm that has tasted success with the IHC line of harvesting, haying, and corn machines, twine, wagons, motor vehicles, manure spreaders, gasoline engines and tractors, cream separators, and tillage implements. Would you like to know something about the success of other dealers—and why? Then write one of our general agencies, ask one of our block- men, or send a letter to the Chicago office.

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. |
