The Harvester World
11 Ing Johnson's Idea of a Baker's Dozen is Fourteen when it Comes to Handing Out Spreaders, This is the Way they do it at Hanley Falls, Minn. FOURTEEN AT A LICK By J, E. Leisses, General Agent, Minneapolis, Minn. Ing Johnson, of Hanley Falls, Minnesota, is a public benefactor. During tlie winter months he remembered the crops of preceding years and he looked at the fields which were to bear the crops for the coming year and decided in his heart of hearts that what the country needed was more and better manure spreaders. For Ing Johnson to make this decision so deep down in his system was just another word for saying that he went ahead and did it. He started out to sell manure spreaders, and while some people would be taking off their hats and spitting on their hands, Mr. Johnson had encompassed a neat little list of fourteen large and luscious spreader sales. On March 15th he corralled these wise purchasers and amid the joyous winds and snows of Hanley Falls, Minnesota, he made his deliveries, a picture of which herewith adorns this page. . . PRIZE HORSES AND A PRIZE DELIVERY By F. E. Breckenridge, Manager Hamilton Branch, International Harvester Company of Canada, Limited J. E. Nesbitt is the enterprising agent of this Com¬ pany at Newmarket, Ontario. He sells the Deering line and, from where we stand, we believe that he has every reason to be proud of this five-carload delivery of Deering machines which he manipulated a short time ago. Mr, Nesbitt set out to make this delivery one to be remembered in the annals of the farmers of that community. He undertook his pre¬ liminary work sytematically and with sufficient enthusiasm so that before he had brought the farmers in to get their prizes he had succeeded in selling two carloads of Deering grain binders, one carload of the famous spreader which goes with that line, a carload of drills, and a miscellaneous car of other machines. Working back to back with him, and repre¬ senting both Mr. Nesbitt and our Company, was Ed. Dillane, an enthusiastic and enterprising salesman from this office. Interest was created in the big day by two successful events. One of these was that all purchasers of ma¬ chines and their teams were entertained and well fed at the King George hotel by Mr. Nesbitt. The second was that prizes were offered for the three best spans in the parade. This parade was formed after dinner and consisted of farmers' teams loaded with machines ex¬ tending over one-half mile in length. They marched through the principal streets, past the judges' stand, and so many good horses were in evidence and so keen was the rivalry to capture the prizes, that the judges had much difficulty in granting the awards. Ultimately the three teams in the foreground, as shown in the accom¬ panying picture, captured first, second and third prizes. A DEFINITION Ikey—"Fader, vot means a 'plutocrat ?' " Fader—"One of dem fellers dot's so rich he needn't to fail any more."—Puck, J, E, Nesbitt of New Market, Ontario, Engineered this Magnificent Delivery

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. |
