A 45-foot car being loaded at the factory with three New Racine threshers and four ensilage cutters. The consignee—an IHC dealer at Montgomery, Alabama—by ordering four ensilage cutters to be shipped at the same time, secured nearly 7,000 pounds additional freight without extra charge
EFFICIENCY IN SHIPPING
There are many angles about this Company's busi¬ ness which if watched closely will save, in the aggre¬ gate, thousands upon thousands of dollars every year. Saving freight charges is one of them.
Shown on this page is a photograph which represents efficient shipping. An IHC dealer at Montgomery, Alabama, had ordered three New Racine threshers which if shipped alone would have wasted nearly 7000 pounds of freight capacity. As there was no room on the car for additional threshers the dealer ordered four ensilage cutters to be shipped at the same time.
The average flat car is thirty feet in length, with a minimum lading of 20,000 pounds. If the dealer will take this into consideration in placing order for thresh¬ ers one or more ensilage cutters may be added to the order and received without a penny's extra charge for transportation. The Belle City Company informs su that three-fourths of the shipments they make to our general agencies and to I H C dealers go forward with
ample room on the car for one or two ensilage cutters.
It is just possible that investigation would disclose the
same condition at some of the other factories. There
is much room for increased efficiency in our business.

PROMOTION
The man in factory or shop Who rises quickly to the top Is he who gives what can't be bought: Intelligent and careful thought. Promotion comes to him who tries Not solely for a selfish prize. But day by day and year by year Holds his employer's interests dear. Who measures not by what he earns The sum of labor he returns. Nor counts his day of toiling through Till he's done all that he can do. His strength is not of muscle bred. But of the heart and of the head. The man who would the top attain, Must demonstrate he has a brain.

| 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. |
