These postcard depict the harvest scenes in various location around the world. They were produced by the International Harvester Company, copyright 1910.
These four show a binder being used to cut & bind grain, using different draft animals

My Grandmother worked for International Havester all her life :-) Love these Walksoft !
Did she work in a mfg. facility?
Yes ! I would pick her up sometimes and the huge factory had a terrible odor and it was very very hot in there . The building is still standing that I know of . I have just not been to that side of town in awhile . It was there a few years ago . Closed .
She passed away in the 70's . I think lung illness from fumes myself and no open windows .
That is 1970's not her age she was 62 or 64 when she passed
That's terrible Mani, she was way to young, lung illness's are so debilitating. Where was the facility & what did they build there?
Thanks Mani & Phil for the comments.
Phil are you going to post some of them for us to see?
Yes Phil please do !
