The IHC Engine School held by the Brandon branch house at Killarney, Man.
WINNING WINNIPEG
By E. R. Macconnell The demand among Manitoban farmers for IHC tractors and gas and oil engines has become so extensive that it has been considered advisable to establish a regular gasoline engine school with regular registration, curriculum, and teachers. The school was held at Killarney, Manitoba, and was conducted by some of our experts. As neither of our agents at Killarney had a warehouse large enough to accommodate the large enrollment, it was necessary to hire a separate building for the purpose. Over one hundred pupils were registered. Our engine experts handled their subjects in a very able manner, and the school proved very successful generally. The picture published here will give an idea of the goodly number and character of the students. The school idea offers excellent advertising, as it brings the men into close personal contact with enthusi¬ astic IHC employes. It insures greater satisfaction on the part of users of I H C machines by teaching them the fundamental principles of engine operation, which every owner ought to know, and it supplies a real need which is felt by every man, whether he is a novice in engine operation or has been an owner and operator for some time. When a man learns a gasoline engine scientifically from the ground up, he is able to do his own experting, and thus save himself a lot of trouble and the Company a lot of expense. The man who worries is not often chosen master Judge. GRAND MAGNUM TEMPUS The Harvester club of the Chicago City Office, once more demonstrated to its members and admiring non- members that it is still the buoyant and attractive organization of its earlier years. On Friday, April 24th, at the Auditorium Hotel, it held its April "Mem¬ bers' Night" meeting, at which several hundred enthusi¬ astic IHC workers joined together in making merry. A program was prepared by C. N. Smith, of the entertainment committee, with the music under the direction of O. J. Kloer and J. S. Meek. A short address was given by President C. J. Hicks, and committee reports were rendered by Walter Hub¬ bard, J. L. Huebner and C. N. Smith. H. F. Perkins, division manager, favored the mem¬ bers of the club with a very interesting and enlighten¬ ing speech on "The Romance of Lumber and Steel." Fred Soderberg was repeatedly encored for his cor¬ net solo work. Harold F. McCormick was on the program twice, first giving an instance of the possible perfection of the neglected art of whistling. He was accompanied on the piano by Miss F'itzgerald. Later in the evening he delighted the men with a little heart to heart talk on the progress and prospects of aviation. The officers back of the Harvester club have steered the club through a very successful year and deserve credit for the work and enthusiasm in their regime.

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. |
