A DEALER'S LETTER
THAT WRITES ITS OWN INTRODUCTION
Fort Valley, November 30, 1915.
International Harvester Companj' of America, Atlanta, Ga.
Gentlemen: —
In August, 1915, I .saw your Mogul 8-l(') kerosene tractor plowing at Hawkinsville, Ga., burning kerosene, doing the best job of plowing I ever saw. That da}', before I left Hawkinsville, I bought a tractor for mj' farm and signed a contract for Houston county.
Capt. Robt. Flournoy saw mj' tractor at work and he bought one; Col. L. L. Brown saw Capt. Flourno^'s tractor at work and he Dought one; Pearson Bros., Smission & Miller, and W. H. Jones went out to mj' farm, then to Capt. Robt. Flournoy's and saw the tractor at work, came back and bought one each. A. J. Evans saw the tractor at work and came in and bought two. By that time I saw thej' were going like hot cakes and ordered out a car of five. They arrived and I have sold every last one of them. Right now I have prospects for twelve or fifteen and will sell them within the next thirty days. Since September 1st, I have sold twelve and during 1916 season I will sell fortj^ or fifty of them. In each and every case I got SPOT CASH for the tractor and plow.
I consider the Mogul 8-16 kerosene tractor contract the very best contract I have in m}' business. They are surel}- the thing for deep plowing — deep plowing means better and bigger crops — bigger and better crops mean more mone}' — all wealth comes from the soil — so besides making my profit I am helping the farmers of Houston county to make money.
The farm land of Houston count}' and the farmers are no different from any other county, so it seems to me that any dealer should be able to make good money on a Mogul 8-16 contract.
Yours very truly.
(Signed) Duke Brothers,
Per J. D. Duke.

| 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. |
