Twine Tattle from McCormick
By S,.W. DOBERER
AL. OWEN, superintendent of the McCormick • twine mills, is following along the lines of educat¬ ing the foreign born, as originally suggested by the State Council of Defense, and which has now been taken up by the public school system. The school was started several months ago, and is being conducted by Miss Frances K. Wetmore, under the supervision of Wm. M. Roberts, assistant superin¬ tendent of schools. The classes are held on Mondays and Wednesdays during noon hour, aud have an average attendance of about thirty. The scholars appear to appreciate the efforts to help them, and much interest is shown. This is only one of the many McCormick twine mill constructive ideas, which include the furnishing of working shoes at a much lower price than they could be purchased elsewhere. These shoes are for both males and females, and are made for comfort and safety. The girls in the mill are being equipped with regula¬ tion factory bloomers. The idea was promulgated about three weeks ago, and a few trial pairs purchased. The new mode was readily accepted, and the entire force of girls will be equipped in the near future. Milwaukee Works
From the New Magazine of the Harvester Works Club FORMER club members of the sheet metal depart¬ ment are making arrangements now for a real dupli¬ cate to the picnic parties they had last summer. The committee — A. Baeuinle, Peter Schmidt, and Otto Foerster — will look for a suitable place. Our membership committee is certainly on the job. At the last regular meeting we initiated 189 new appli¬ cants and we near some of tlie club members are work¬ ing very hard to help the committee increase our mem¬ bership to the highest possible point. Good work. A donation from each employe desiring to contribute is given once every month, or every pay day, to the foreman, and these funds are used to provide a box of smokes for every soldier from Milwaukee works. Milwaukee works, where the famous Titan tractor is made, is famous too for good workmen with long years of active and faithful service to their record. Good ma¬ chines, you will find, must be preceeded by good men. Take Moritz Kaebisch. He has been an employe at Mil¬ waukee works for 17 years. "He takes care of our kin¬ dling wood deliveries," writes Roman F. Weber, and has other duties. He is a faithful employe who always performs his work in a very satisfactory manner."

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. |
