Stiff Competition for Dobbin
The new International 8-16 tractor, designed for the small farm country in the eastern part of the T'liitt'd States, is already demonstrating that it was designed right. That it is meeting with great popularity is proved by this delivery by F. L. Thompson, IHC dealer at Clarks Summit, Pa. (Elmira, N. Y., territory), to a list of customers which include the Lackawanna County Food Administration, Blakely Poor District, Ransom poor farm, and a number of individual purchasers. C. E. Wells is the blockman in that part of the country and we understand that both he and Dealer Thompson are live ones.
Misses Lela and Edna Aitken, sixteen and seventeen years old, do all the cutting of wheat and oats and the breaking of ground on the 240-acre farm owned by their father, L. R. Aitken, at Metcalf, Edgar county, Illinois, in the Terre Haute territory. The girls are shown in the picture finishing up an eighty-acre field of wheat with a 10-20 Titan and a McCormick binder. The photograph was sent us by W. W. Taylor, Terre Haute branch manager, at the suggestion of P. J. Breen, good IHC dealer and good friend of the Harvester Company at Metcalf.
An Enviable Performance
During commencement week at the Maryland State College of Agriculture, College Park, Md., there was held a Farmers' Day iu which the Baltimore branch house participated. Mr. Henderson wanted to get the new International 8-16 to College Park, so he loaded it on an International truck and away they went like everything. "The 8-16 was the only one of 13 different makes of tractors demonstrated at the college which did not stop from the time it started until it had plowed its 1'4 acres of ground," writes H. A. Richardson, IHC tractor sales¬ man. "It was plowing on an average 8 inches deep."
An International truck with a King trailer. Photo taken in Raymond, S. D. (Watertown territory), in the central part of state. The owners, Jones Brothers of Raymond, say their International has given them the utmost satis¬ faction, that it is very inexpensive in upkeep, and does excellent work on the Dakota roads.
Six in One

| 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. |
