The Harvester World
Some years ago Mr. Wilder decided that he was dividing his energies and wasting his time by handling the general lines of hardware. Accordingly he closed out all the hardware and now gives himself up solely and exclusively to the demonstration and sale of farm and harvesting machines. He has two capacious ware¬ houses and is well equipped to cope with his developing trade. His annual sales average from S^OjOOO to $35,000 at the present time and are on the .ricrease.
Mr. Wilder although seventy years of age is as actiye and as energetic as when he sold the first wire binder forty years ago, and he expects to continue to supply his fellowmen with farming machines for years and years to come.
GETTING READY FOR THE SCRANTON
RETAIL TRADE
By D. S. Neill, General Agent, Elmira, N. Y.
Some people look amazed when told that the I H C has the largest motor truck factory in the world. They wonder where so many are sold. As a matter of fact, they are sold all over the country and in large numbers.
The Elmira agency have sold Conrad & Bortree of Scranton, Pa., twenty-five I H C motor trucks this year atd the accompanying picture shows a partial delivery.
Although some people are moving out of Scranton for f-ar the city will fall into the mines underneath it, t onrad & Bortree are staying on the job selling I H C motor trucks. They are preparing their customers to make a quick get-away in case anything does ha.ppen.
Scranton is located in a rough country, and is sur¬
rounded by high, rock-bound hills. The little I H C motor truck thrives in this kind of a region—Remember the Wasliington Post run—and it is giving an excellent account of itself around Scranton. Conrad & Bortree are hustlers and they are doing a fine business.

"They say that chess is the oldest game," remarked the Old Fogy.
" Poker is older than chess," said the Wise Guy.
" How do you know?" asked the Old Fogy.

| 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. |
