N. D, Hansen, is I H C dealer at Fairfax, South Dakota, and although Fairfax is in the heart of the Rosebud Indian reservation—still new country — Mr. Hansen recently delivered eighteen IHC spreaders, following a special spreader campaign. Hint to dealers: YoucanselllHC spreaders in your territory sagging parts. It meant a great move upward and forward in spreader construction. The Low Down Principle
The members of this organization probably do not know it, and half the dealers who sell I H C spreaders may not be aware of it, so we want to rise up and announce at this time that I H C spreaders were the first to have the low down principle. Frank Rice of the Champion works made—not so very long ago—the first low down spreader that ever was made. It was a three- wheeled spreader and a good one, about the only thing it lacked being one more wheel. It in¬ troduced a new departure in a machine which will save time and backaches for a million farmers. Although the first extra low, three-wheeled spreader passed away, its influence lasted, and now every manure spreader manufacturer who is seriously attempting the job of making spreaders as they should be made is incorpo¬ rating the low built principle into his product. Another Epoch
Things have been happening quite rapidly in the development of the spreader in the last few years, and the latest significant improvement to appear is the wide spreading feature. Again I H C spreaders were far up on the advance line in this improvement. The makers of our spread¬ ers can't claim primacy in this in the point of time, but they can in the point of quality. We are now ready to prove that I H C manufacturers have carried the wide spread principle farther and worked it out better in our spreaders than any other manufacturer. The Wide Spread Spread Is the Thing Our spreaders carried this startling new idea of the wide spread apologetically at first. The wide spread feature came in the form of an attach¬ ment which could be slipped on if the farmer wanted iL Of course he wanted it, for didn't it save him driving and turning up and down the field ? Couldn't he put twenty loads on two acres nearly as quickly with the wide spread as he could ten loads on one acre without it, and didn't it enable him to have both power wheels of the spreader on clean, uncovered ground ? All the farmers liked the wide spread attach¬ ment—they insisted on it, so finally I H C spread¬ ers have the wide spread principle built into them. The Fathers Right here we would like to stop and point out that we have two separate and distinct wide spread features now in use on our spreaders—the disk and the spiral. Samuel K. Dennis of Piano works is the father of the wide spread with disks, and James A. Sharp of Champion works is making a strong bid for fame by bringing forward the spiral feature. These two men have worked and labored and striven with the various problems presented by manure spreader design and manu¬ facture for years, and they, among others, deserve great credit for having brought I H C spreaders to their present point of perfection. We Admit They are Nearly Perfect We wonder if you ever stopped to think just how nearly perfect I H C spreaders are. They are not too light so they will slip and lose traction, and they are not too heavy. They are narrow for the door and they are low for the back. They are as strong and rugged as fine steel can make them. They are simple in design as contrasted with the spreaders that were made in the old days, and they are now what the experimental men like to call fool-proof, which means that even the hired man will have a hard time making the manure spreader an excuse for getting a rest. Things Which Should Be Remembered It should be remembered that the wonderful thing about this I H C wide spread idea is that it does not take much more power to catch the manure in mid-air and fling it out beyond the wheels on either side than merely to let it fall out

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. |
