NOT IN POLITICS
In view of tne wide publication of tke charge that the International Harvester Company had made large contributions to Mr. Roosevelt's cam¬ paign, Cyrus H. McCormick felt that it should be made clear that there was no foundation whatever for such a charge. Therefore on October 12th he issued to the press the following statement: | [ j- "With reference to the statement made by Mr. Hilles, that the Interna¬ tional Harvester Company has contributed two million dollars to Mr. Roosevelt s primary campaign or to his presidential campaign, I desire to say that the International Harvester Company has not contributed nor promised to contribute, directly or indirectly, any sum whatever to the cause of any presidential candidate either before or after his nomination; nor has it attempted to influence the political action or opinion of any member of its organization. In justice to the Company s widely distributed employes, as well as to its stockholders, I feel it necessary to state these facts, "I appreciate too highly the splendid spirit of loyalty that exists among the Company s agents and employes, to permit them erroneously to suppose that the Company is taking any part in or endeavoring to influence the result of the present presidential campaign. "The Company is not in politics, and does not want to be. It is not taking any part in the controversy and it protests against being used as a football. , "To declare that this Company has been, or is, directly or indirectly furnishing any money whatever to help any one s presidential campaign is to state an unqualified falsehood. ¦ :,t. _ .•(¦I

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. |
