1915 Linn Tractor advertising

Copy and comments courtesy of Rene Elliott

In late 1915 H.H. Linn was showing off his tractor and having Norm Carey take images like this, printed by the Morris Chronicle in an early catalog, showing the 1915 rebuilt prototype pulling two town road graders on the flat up past McWilliam's on county rt. 51, with the original town tractor, a International Harvestor traction engine, in the background as a suggestion.

Blacksmiths on North Broad, George Strait was also a Chevrolet dealer at one point. Both bill heads were the same size, these are just xerox copies that appear to have been printed with identical letterhead.

1950. The post office building has already lost the knobs off the roof but the Naylor Buildings still have them and that little peak (false front) that has since been simplified. the question has always been if that was caused by the Nov. 1950 east wind hurricane that caused a lot of damage and downed trees in town/Upstate NY?
