NEWS OF THE WORKS
Where IHC Machines are made
PLANO
Orders were issued in February to clear ground for a new forge shop at this works. The new building accord¬ ing to present plans will be built in three sections, one section covering the ground formerly occupied by the old power plant will be built the coming summer, and the other two sections will be erected later on when the present forge shop and steel storage buildings are razed. Sam Dennis, of the Piano Works, and A. H. Moul, of Grand Rapids, as they face life together One of these days we hope to be able to send in news of the doings of the Piano works foreman's club. Some time ago a banquet was held at which this topic was discussed and to show its interest the Company has remodeled the fourth floor of the office building for a club room. Other works have clubs of this kind which have proved the need of such an organization and it is sin¬ cerely hoped that Piano will produce a club that will live and prosper. B. A. Miles, foreman of the forge shop, resigned his position February 8. Dan Williams formerly assist¬ ant foreman has been promoted to the foremanship with Julius Olsen and Oscar Tomlin as assistants. A. K. Chrisse, father of Gus Chrisse, foreman of the machine shop, and Fred Chrisse, foreman of the wagon box department, died January 23. Mr. Chrisse was an old Piano employe, being on the IHC pension roll. His death leaves but two men from this works on this roll, J. D. Johnson and James Graham. OSBORNE H. M.

S. G. McAllister, F. W. Jones, T. P. Wiley, J. L. Hummer, William Surdam, B. B. Smith, and A. E. Rockwell. The lecture consisted of views and explanation of the process of manufacturing different grades of emery wheels and the purposes for which they are used. The guests were shown how the emery is treated from the time it is taken out of the mines until it is shipped out as finished product. W. J. Lees, who for some time past has been in charge of the mechanical engineering and the fire and watch departments, and James Smuck, our chemist, severed their connection with the Company on Jan.

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. |
