Description
This photo shows an International Harvester Co. building. International Harvester Co. operated in Grand Forks between 1922 and 1944. Cited from I. H. Dealers of the Past (https://www.ihdealerspast.net/states/nd_ne.pdf).
"The International Harvester Company (often abbreviated IH or International) was an American manufacturer of agricultural and construction equipment, automobiles, commercial trucks, lawn and garden products, household equipment, and more. It was formed from the 1902 merger of McCormick Harvesting Machine Company and Deering Harvester Company and three smaller manufacturers. Following years of financial and economic decline, International began selling its separate equipment divisions. Given its monumental importance to the building of rural communities the brand continues to have a massive cult following. The International Harvester legacy non-profits host some of the largest agriculture related events in the United States." Cited from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Harvester).
