My father, George Niemelä, Sr., was a mechanic, welder, heavy-equipment operator, and businessman in northern California. When the author was a boy, Dad worked for R.G.’s brothers-in-law (Howard and Buster Peterson) at Peterson Tractor, a Caterpillar dealership based in San Leandro, CA. He was a machinist/welder in the first crew of Peterson’s Roller Exchange Shop. 2 In 1961 Dad opened an equipment rental yard in Stockton, CA (Bee Wise Tool and Equipment Rental). His business was two blocks from a Montgomery-Ward warehouse that once was R.G.’s second Stockton factory (built in 1930, expanded in 1934).

  • Notes on the Origins of Some American Tractors
    Notes on the Origins of Some American Tractors The tractor used by the CCC crew in Southwest Harbor, as shown in SWHPL 10609, was a Best 30 crawler tractor with open radiator sides, made in 1924-1925 as one of the last models made by the C.L. Best Tractor Company before it merged with Holt Manufacturing to become the Caterpillar Tractor Company. 1890. Benjamin Holt and Daniel Best experimented with various forms of steam tractors for use in farming. They did so separately, with separate companies. 1904. Holt's first steam track-type tractor. 1906. Holt's first gas track-type tractor. 1915. Holt "Caterpillar®" track-type tractors are used by the Allies in World War I. 1925. The Holt Manufacturing Company and the C. L. Best Tractor Co. merge to form Caterpillar Tractor Co. In 1908, at the age of 70, Daniel retired. His son, Clarence Leo Best ("Leo"), continued in his father’s footsteps, and with his father still giving advice, continued to experiment and improve on their tractors. One improvement made was the track laying design. This type of tractor moved on rolling tracks instead of wheels. He made several different models, but two really stood out as notable. The two models — the 30 hp field tractor, and the 60 hp field tractor — were well received and highly praised by the farming community. These tractors would eventually launch a new line of tractors that are still used today. Caterpillar Tractor Company In 1925, the C.L. Best Tractor Company and the Holt Manufacturing Company, who also manufactured tractors and had trademarked the Caterpillar brand, merged to form the Caterpillar Tractor Company.

FIFTY YEARS ON TRACKS Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign http://archive.org/details/fiftyyearsontracOOcate FIFTY YEARS ON TRACKS Copyright 1954 by Caterpillar Tractor Co. CAT lH *•>'» * > *\\ BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION . ^1 2 IN 1925, the C. L. Best Tractor Co. and The Holt Manufac- turing Company merged to form Caterpillar Tractor Co.; leading track-type tractor builders of that time, the two firms had chosen an old and familiar Holt trademark for use in their new corporate name. This anniversary book tells the story of Caterpillar— and its important predecessors— from a begin- ning rooted in Nineteenth Century soil. From the vantage point of a reporter, it presents a cross-section view of the Company today— its people, plants, business friends, products, markets. It sketches the colorful industry of which Caterpillar is a prominent part. "Fifty Years on Tracks" is a tribute to the men who build roads and dams and levees and airports . who till and terrace farmland and harvest its abun- dance . stretch pipelines across plains and up over mountains . cut down hills and erect buildings and bridges in their place . fell and snake logs from the woods . clear roads and streets and save lives when winter comes. To the people who build today's pyramids in months instead of decades— with machines and free men instead of slaves by the thousands. To the workmen who keep hammering down the cost of moving a yard of earth . who have more than doubled farm output per man-hour in the last 50 years .

  • The Role of Brand Equity in B2B: U a Comparative Cross Industrial Analysis
    U Title: The Role of Brand Equity in B2B: U A Comparative Cross Industrial Analysis U Author: Hooman Sabzehzar Academic Master Thesis KTH Royal Institute of Technology Tutor: Professor Henrik Uggla 7th edition, 2010 - 2012 th Como, June, 29P ,P 2012 1 ABSTRACT Many companies have exploited the power of brand equity in B2C markets as a source of competitive advantage. The trend in B2B, however, seems to be slightly different where many decision makers still believe that branding is not relevant to their business as it is to B2C. This paper investigates the role of brand equity in B2B businesses and shows how long-term investment in brand equity can change the rules of the game radically in favor of those B2B companies who have invested in their brand with a "holistic" approach which conform the overall strategy of the company. Caterpillar Inc. has been chosen as the case study and the role of its brand equity in its superior performance over its competitor, Komatsu Ltd, is investigated. The qualitative part of the research analyses the brand associations and the roles that these associations together with other brand elements play for Caterpillar and its customers. The quantitative part investigates two particular areas of recovery from market difficulties and efficiency in market communications and proves the role of higher brand equity in superior performance in recovery from market difficulties and marketing communications efficiency. The results are then tested further on the second case study which compares Intel to AMD. The results also open up new lines for further research on the subject both in depth and breadth where suggestions are made for generalizability of the research as well as determining the role of brand equity in companies' performances more precisely.
