"...What do John Wayne, Nikita Khrushchev and International Harvester trucks and tractors have in common? They were all featured in Harvester World magazine in the 1950s. Harvester World was an International Harvester Company magazine published from 1909 to 1970. At first the magazine was intended mostly for company employees and dealers, carrying stories about factory picnics, retirements and corporate milestones. By the 1940s, however, it had become a 'human interest' magazine featuring stories about the people who came in contact with International Harvester machines."
