1. Life was good for many back before International Harvester's demise, which is not a pretty story.

Apparently, IH was one of the first companies to promote fair, non-discriminatory employment. I'll have to come back and read more about them when I have time.

5. send it to Georgia

my cousin twice removed restores old tractors for the love of the tractors.
I took these pics on a visit up there a few years ago:




(I'm not saying this is before and after - just random shots of stuff in his yard)

The city often borrows his tractors for parades and such.
