That may be 'cause you ain't lived there long enough. With only two
known to exist, I suspect they weren't around long.
If you could find the time to check old city directories at the
library, I would really appreciate it. They might shed a little more
light on this. The Illinois Tractor Co. might have even placed an ad
in the directory.
No way, other than the Internet, could 2 tractors and one manual get
together 86 years later. Oh, and a few guys just setting around
jawing. A small thing but it is history.
Another example of the potential of the Internet for finding information
and bringing people together.
