IHC Fire and Watch Organizations
Under the general supervision of the chief of fire and watch, working in harmony with the superintendents of the various factories, comes the chief of fire and watch at each works. At the larger factories the fire chief has an as- sistant. Under these men come the captains of the hose cart companies aud the assistant captains, and under these, from six to ten picked men, who, with the captain and his assistant, make up the compan}-. We have at each of our works an average of from five to twelve com¬ panies. Then there are the watchmen who keep their e^-e upon every part of the plant all night long. In the twine mills, there are men "jjulling stations" day and night. In addition to this, there are the regular fire inspectors at all the factories, in¬ specting the equipment and the general conditions looking toward the prevention of any accumulations of material favorable to fire, and these men are on the job night and day. This means that all IHC fire equipment and also all con¬ ditions which exist in IHC fac¬ tories, touching the question of fires W. J. Pollard, the big fire chief of all the works, famous for being on the job night and day receive from two to three daily inspections. Tlie IHC fire equipment is modern in every par¬ ticular, including the well-known automatic sprinkler protection and our own high-pressure system. This high-pressure system is one of the items upon which the IHC fire-and-watch boys pride themselves. For instance, at the McCormick works, it is possible with this system to throw sixty-four standard streams at one time, each stream consisting of 250 gallons a minute, shot from a hose with a one and one-eighth-inch tip nozzle. One of the pictures published iu connec¬ tion with this article shows a stream of water being thrown from the very top of McCormick works by the force of this high-pressure system. Training the Men for Efficiency
Once a week during the summer months at all the works there is fire drill, with all the men participating paid for their services. Fire service in the IHC factories is voluntary and the companies are composed of active young men with a turn for athletics and a bent for saving property and life. The men on watch at ni^lit, of course, are regu¬ lar employes and are paid for their

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. |
