Facs from the field and current events
By C. B. Clark
J. M. Lysinger isa new blockman hereabouts, having been just promoted. On the outskirts of Des Moines at Cam p Dodge, in the heavy artillery, drills E. J. Clynch, erstwhile blockman and now sergeant of subsist¬ ence. He's doing his bit there — while our other soldier in the service is at Camp Cody, New Earl Mayhood is among the cacti and the sage, getting down pat the logarithms of the engi¬ neers. C. P. Butler, aide and super-at the Frisco Exposition, formerly and latterly engine salesman here, has been transferred to Salt Lake City. Jack Irvine, our shipper, has been whitening the warehouse walls. A fly-speck through a microscope is not more conspicu¬ ous than dust would be in Jack's department. Light walls prevent accidents and are good signals to show the house in order. Floyd Hodsdon from "somewhere in France" occa¬ sionally drops a line among us. He is tractor service man to many learning Frenchmen. Des Moines' quota of the Second Liberty Loan of 1917 turned out to be a low rung in our ladder. At the end of the first three days' drive over $300,000 more than the set figure of $7,700,000 had been subscribed.
To/lscilitate the administration of her food production activities, G/eat Britain has divided the land into districts, each in charge of a competent executive. These Mogul tractors have just been delivered to the District Organizer at Bridgwater, England, to be used for plowing, harrowing, seeding and other food-producing operations. A. H. Moul is the assistant manager at Pittsburgh, and he made the mistake of going to a tractor demonstration one day at the Mercer County Home, where a Harvester World photographer was loose. Step right in, you are welcome. This is part of the IHC headquarters at the Oregon State Fair held at Salem. The main purpose of the exhibit was to make all I H C dealers and customers feel right at home at the big fair, and another purpose was to let them know what a mistake they were making if they were not IHC dealers or customers.
Good Record for One Day
The Philadelphia branch celebrated the hottest day of the year (July 31st) by selling forty-seven International Motor Trucks. Mr. Zimmerman writes that he believes that day was the hottest Philadelphia has seen for a number of years and that he is sure it is the most motor truck business ever secured at that branch in one day. And from what we know of it, motor truck orders don't grow on bushes even in the Philadelphia territory. Thetrucks were sold incidental¬ ly between 5:30 a. ni. and 11:30 p. m. Service The Evansville, Indiana, branch has written all its tractor owners asking for the numbers on the name plates of their machines so it can give more and better service and sent along a set of tractor bul¬ letins. The branch received many favorable replies and be¬ lieves custom¬ ers are always glad to see that your interest in a machine does not stop with the sale. This member of the family you have not met — Lieutenant Gordon MgCor- mick, 332nd Field Artillery, Gamp Grant, Rockford, Illinois. Lieutenant McCormick graduated from Princeton University in 1915, is twenty-three Vears old, and is the second son of Cyrus H. McCormick, President.

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. |
