Plowing with an 8-16 Mogul on a good stiff grade in the Pittsburgh territory. Pittsburgh has given several demonstrations of late and has demonstrated that the 8-16 will go up and down hills the same as on level ground. Pittsburgh, you know, is hilly
WILL THE 8-16 TRACTOR WORK IN HILLS?
By Chas. P. Hawkins, Pittsburgh One of the first questions that comes up in this terri¬ tory at a tractor demonstration is — Will the 8-16 Mogul climb hills? We have no doubt that this is a prominent question and a familiar one to all general agencies which have other than level land within their limits. For the benefit of all who have to answer this ques¬ tion, we want to give the experience of the 8-16 at trac¬ tor demonstrations in the Pittsburgh territory. As every¬ one knows, Pittsburgh is in a hilly region and is noted locally for its hills as it is nationally for its smoke. Aside from calling your attention to tlie half-tone on this page, where the 8-16 is shown j^lowing furrows up the side of a rather steep hill, we want to mention an experience we had here not long ago. We were having a demonstration when we discovered a man who several months before had purchased a tractor of another make and was trying to use it that day to pull a double disk cutaway harrow through one of his orchards. The result was that he was stuck on the hillside and that he challenged us to a test of our Mogul 8-16. We hitched our little tractor to the harrow and pulled it right up the grade as if there were nothing attached to the tractor at all. This made a strong impression, not only on the prospects who were attending the demonstration, but also on the owner of the tractor.

Hill, Knoxville, Tennessee In the photo halftone is seen the IHC hayseed band, which headed the motor truck section of the Labor Day parade in Knoxville. This aggregation of artists per¬ formed "Turkey in the Straw," "ArkansawTraveler," and other choice selections, without cessation. The artists from left to right are: Speed Demon, Mercury McReynolds; Little Skates, the infant prodigy altoist; Floyd Mendelssohn Sherrod, cornetist; Handel K. Whitten, bass; Rubenstien Rogers, trombone tor¬ turer; The Drummer-boy of '76; aud Hans Wagner Shugart, bass drum artist. This picture is only another proof of the versatility of the International motor truck, which is a practical proposition in any class of service. Everyone these days is getting into the IHC band wagon. HARVESTER CLUB TENNIS FINALS
The annual doubles tournament of the Harvester club was held this year in Grant Park, directly across Michigan avenue from the Harvester building. Lloyd Murphy and Carl Elofsou won the finals, which entitled them to the gold medals and the right to challenge the cup holders, W. S. Hubbard and H. Hauske. Hubbard and Hauske won, thereby establishing their right to keep the cup, which they have held for two sea- sons against all contenders. The cup henceforth is the property of Hubbard and Hauske and their heirs and assigns forever. C. A. Youngquist and Glenn V. Johnson were the runners up and winners of the silver medals. All tennis fans are look¬ ing forward to next year's tournament, when they ex¬ pect to play for cups in both singles and doubles. The attendance throughout this - season's match, though not large, showed a growing interest in tennis events.

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. |
