Oliver Red River Special thresher
Oliver Farm Equipment was created in 1929 when four companies merged. One of those companies, Nichols and Shepard, had been making threshers since 1857 and the Red River Special was a Nichols and Shepard model. The thresher in the photo is similar to this one.

Despite their inability to read and write, there was something special about people in this era. They had a work ethic that was incomparable. The farmers of America always have, do now, and will always in the future feed the world. I would hire this guy in a New York minute.
