| Advertisement Text | The world demands the best mowers and reapers. That's why more than one-third of the entire output of the world are McCormick Machines. They are the best. Sold by Polson-Wilton Hardware Co. The No. $ beats them all. |
| Contextual Notes | In 1834, inventor Cyrus McCormick took out a patent for a horse-drawn reaper. After several improvements to the design, he established a harvester factory in Chicago in 1847. In 1902, the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company merged with the Deering Harvester Company and three other businesses to form the International Harvester Company.
