A propos de cet article

[AGRICULTURE] [TRACTORS] [IMPLEMENTS] Barton W. Currie. The Tractor and Its Influence Upon the Agricultural Implement Industry (Philadelphia: The Curtis Publishing Company, 1916). This was a reprint of a series of articles which appeared in The Country Gentleman of which the author was on the editorial staff. Bookplate on inside front cover states that “This Book is Presented to Mr. J. D. Fanders with the Compliments of The Country Gentleman”. The Curtis Publishing Company published The Country Gentleman. Paper covered boards; frontis; viii, 228 pp; measures approximately 5.25 x 7.5 inches. Some loss at cover corners; acidity of bookplate has left its outline on the opposite free flyleaf; o/w in VG+ condition. [24-553] The Foreword states in part that “The Country Gentleman is peculiarly the publication of the business farmer. It is national, it is weekly, it covers the entire country. It touches on all crops and all agricultural topics, and always from the point of view of the man who farms to get back out of the land more than he puts into it. Within the past year there have been two developments which have made it more important than ever that all the facts about this implement industry be brought together and given thorough consideration. One is the rapid development of the farm tractor, which is having considerable effect upon methods of manufacturing and selling all implements. The other is the increased agitation for shorter retail credits, a reform which would have far-reaching effect upon the retail dealer and the service which he renders to the farmer. It has been the purpose of The Country Gentleman to treat these vital topics in such way as to assist toward a wider and more economical distribution of farm machinery.” Very interesting review of the early years of farm tractors and the emergence of the “horseless farm”. In 1916, tractorless farms far surpassed the number of horseless farms in America, but as the last chapter suggests, one could already “begin to get a magnificent view of the future possibilities of applied mechanical power on the farm.”.…
