The local creamery on whom I next called, exhibited their contract with him, and advised that checks were mailed to him monthly. Further inquiries were made of acquaint¬ ances about town, which disclosed that the wife's parents had been dead for years, and had left her neither money nor property.

The notes were returned to our attorney under instructions to realize the money just as quickly as possible, and under date of Septem¬ ber 2S, 1909, our attorney wrote us in part as follows: "I report levy by the sheriff on personal property in possession of this debtor and his wife, followed by claim that she owns the property except as to two items. The sheriff has been instructed to demand the costs provided by the interpleader act for making the appraisement, which has not yet been paid. The at¬ torney representing the debtor, has just called at my office, and you will kindly make no settlement whatever of this claim without my approval. 1 believe we are in position to get all the money. 1 regard the case as extra-ordinary, and in view of the trouble caused by this debtor and his past record, I believe we should insist upon payment in full of your claim, debt, interest and costs." The notes were closed by a remittance from our attorney on October 2, 1909. tg- ¦H ® s\ The Same — Taking Lunch by the Wayside

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. |
