I would see the David Brown tractor ads in the Country Guide magazine in the late 1960s but never saw an actual tractor until Case started selling them as part of their line in 1974. Of course we didn't have any David Brown dealers around until that time either. This ad is from 1977. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loadstar Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Here is another oil company ad from 1956. I don't know if Flying A ever appeared this far North but I never saw any locally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHhogfarmer Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Before we get too far off from vehicles of the mid 50’s here are two Chevy ads the first from 1955 the second from 1956. Personally I kinda like the styling of the ‘56 models 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This pic from the Montgomery dam project in Colorado. Check out the chrome grille on the pickup. Quality is not great as the big two page ad was way too big for my scanner.

IHhogfarmer Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 That is a cool ad loadstar. I wonder what that vehicle is on the semi trailer on the right behind the description. Here are a couple others. The first is a Standard Fuel Oils ad from 1955 This ones a Studebaker ad from 1956 I don’t think I’ve ever seen them before or heard the name, shows my knowledge of cars!

Lol Studebaker, its a really old name in cars. And before that, wagons. What surprised me was that you could still buy one in 1957. I thought the name had disappeared in the early fifties .

Howard_P Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Studebaker made a minor comeback in the late 1950s with the Lark compact model. Studebaker production ended in South Bend, IN on Dec. 20, 1963 with production continuing at Hamilton, ON until March 17, 1966. The Avanti model continued under several different owners until 1991 with a restart attempted in 2006. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHhogfarmer Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Interesting about Studebaker, I wonder how many are still around with production ending 50+ years ago I would imagine that they would be quite the collectablies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much like the IH Scout community, just 15 years older. There is an active Studebaker owners club with an annual show and you see them popping up at other old car events.

Father in law talks about cultivating fast to try and throw loose dirt up in the row between plants to cover up emerging weeds that shovels cant get for obvious reasons. If i not mistaken 1st cultivating was pretty slow when plants were small a d easily damaged. 2nd cultivating i think you went faster to throw dirt to cover emerging weeds and 3rd cultivating maybe slower again as corn was tall enough at times to rub on tractor and break? Idk i recall riding with dad on 4020 and front mount cultivator when i was pretty young but never had to cultivate myself as by time i was old enough it was chemicals and maybe once thru with cultivator.

IHhogfarmer Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Makes sense to me iowaboy. I have no doubt that going fast is not unusual but just something I thought about. Here is a cartoon ad about the farmer retiring his team of horses for the new tractors of the Farmall letter series this one is from 1941. Notice on the top it states “Farmall Farming Marches On” that same line is used in the promo film that U-C posted earlier and that film is from 1939. Interesting that the B was not included in that film since it was introduced in 1939. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also taught that throwing dirt up around the base of the stalks would make it harder for a windstorm to blow the young plants over. Not sure if that really mattered or not.
