- Trade Card for the "Standard" Cultivator, 1870-1900 - In the last third of the nineteenth century, an unprecedented variety of consumer goods and services flooded the American market.

- Engineer and Fireman aboard Traction Engine, Pulling Cultivator, circa 1895 - Some agricultural steam engines had to be hauled from farm to farm by teams of horses. Some - like the one pictured here - moved under their own power. This self-propelled traction engine hauls a cultivator. The hardwearing duo brought welcome aid to farmers, uprooting weeds and aerating soil to create a smooth, loose seedbed.

- Massey-Harris Buyer's Guide for 1942 - It took hundreds of years to perfect machinery that could combine the three major steps of harvesting grain: reaping, or cutting the crop; threshing to loosen the grain from the chaff; and disposing of the straw while retaining the grain. Massey-Harris introduced practical self-propelled "combines" in 1938. One driver could operate them, reducing the need for hired help during the labor shortages of World War II.
