He spent over the valley to the east and to the west many months in the harvest fields and tKUM THIS 1831 knew the importance of a machine that would relieve the farmer of the heaviest labor at harvest time. At the age of fifteen, Cyrus in­ vented a lightweight grain cradle which enabled him to keep up with the older men in the reaping of wheat. In 1831, he patented a hillside plow, and in 1833, another improved plow. In 1831, Robert McCormick made his last unsuccessful trial with his reaping machine and gave up this project. But meanwhile, Cyrus began working out a new principle which proved successful and is still used in the harvesting machines of today. In the hillside blacksmith shop he built a machine which successfully cut grain. The first public trial of Cyrus McCormick's machine took place in July, 1831, in a field near Steele's Tavern, not far from Walnut Grove. Curious neighbors came from all over to witness the trial. The young inventor walked behind his machine while Jo Anderson, his faithful helper, walked beside the machine, raking the platform clear of cut grain. Thus the first step in mechanized harvesting, from manpower to horsepower, was accomplished. Though still not perfect, the McCormick reaper was employed in cutting fifty acres of wheat in 1832. In 1834, Cyrus patented his machine. The next year, however, the machine was temporarily laid aside when the McCormick family engaged in smelting iron ore. The panic of 1837 brought about a greatly reduced price in iron and ruined the enterprise. Consequently, Cyrus Hall McCor­ mick again turned his attention to the reaper. In the old blacksmith shop, Cyrus, aided by his father and two brothers, Leander and William, finally began to build machines for sale. The first one was sold in 1840; in 1842, they sold a half- dozen; in 1843, seven; in 1844, twenty-five; and in 1845, fifty. In this year, the first consignment was sent to the western prairies of the United States. Young McCormick had the sagacity to see that his principal market was in the great fields of the West, and that the blacksmith shop on his farm was inadequate to handle the needs of manufac­ turing. McCormick then took a horseback trip through Illinois, Ohio, Missouri, and Wisconsin, to study the advantages of several larger cities for the purpose of introducing his reaper. In 1847, he chose Chicago, Illinois as his city of opportunity. Arriving in Chicago in the late summer of that year, McCor­ mick found a city with a population of 16,859; a roistering, brawl­ ing, young metropolis. Chicago offered McCormick all the advan­ tages he was seeking since it was strategically located at the cross- TO THIS 1951 C,:7,.77 :;?:;;; .. ?£F -'*&' ™* •jiGjtM : 7^h s-7:S^3- i .•;•!&•' -'0- # ,*faii 7il77777iB8i»Bl V: •"'•,.% 777 J ii g^ ^ • ::7 roads of river and lake shipping and was situated in the center of a vast grain producing area.

With this, one man could only cut on an average of about one acre each day. To introduce his reaper, McCormick exhibited his machine at the Crystal Palace Exhibition in London in 1851. After receiving the highest award of the Fair, the Council Medal, McCormick em­ barked on a campaign of introducing his machine to the other countries abroad through the media of fairs and exhibitions. The sale of the McCormick machines rapidly became world­ wide. In all the grain countries of Europe, in Persia, India, and Australia, in South Africa, and South America the whir of the reapers' knives were heard.

  • George W. Perkins and the International Harvester Steel Properties
    "... a dishonestman isat leastprudent." GeorgeW. Perkinsand theInternational Harvester Steel Properties Fred V. Carstensen University of Virginia On the afternoon of 13 February, 1902, Judge Elbert H. Gary had a "long talk" with Cyrus H. McCormick, Jr., president of the leading harvester manufacturer, the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company. Gary was worried. McCormick's principal competitor, the Deering Haverster Company, was installing a small rolling mill at their Chicago factory; the Deerings had also purchased the large Hawkins mine in the Mesabi range, and bought controlling interest in South Chicago Furnace Company, located just south of Chicago, where new steel furnaces were under construction. If completed, such vertical integration would not only deprive Judge Gary's US Steel of an important consumer of steel, but its example and com- petitive implications would surely impel McCormick and others in the same direction, threatening US Steel's market. Gary, speaking explicitly for the recently organized steel company, told McCormick that he wanted to see if it were "possible to prevent the further prosecution of" the Deering efforts. A solution to this "difficul- ty" had come to Gary "immediately" -- "the idea of a combination." Not only would combination "be a good thing" for the reaper manu- facturers, he believed he "could prove...that it would be to their interests not to go into the steel business" as the Deerings were now doing [12]. This conversation initiated the chain of events which led to creation of International Harvester just six months later, in August 1902. The successful negotiations between the McCormicks, Deerings, and owners of two smaller companies, Warder, Bushnell & Glessner and the Plano Company, were completed in six weeks of intensive work in New York in late June and July, negotiations handled by GeorgeW.

In late summer of 1847 my grandfather, Cyrus Hall McCormick, came to Chicago to manufacture an improved model of the reaper he had invented and publicly demonstrated sixteen years earlier in Virginia. The little reaper plant which he founded, and de­ veloped through the years with the assistance of his two brothers, is now represented in the Chicago area by six International Harvester Company factories, a manufacturing research center, a central school for Harvester personnel, a Harvester printing plant, gen­ eral offices, and a number of motor truck sales branches. More than 30,000 Harvester men and women are now employed in Chicago. It is fitting at this time to pay tribute to the man whose genius laid the groundwork for Harvester's ex­ tensive operations in Chicago as well as in the rest of the world.
