May/June 2019
Today’s Fern May/June 2019 Publication of the 100 Ladies of Deering, a philanthropic circle of the Deering Estate Foundation The 100 Ladies Again Undertake a Whirlwind Month Like the citizens of Sitges, Spain, the 100 Ladies of Deering are devoted to the preservation of a historic landmark once owned by Charles Deering. Our efforts to conserve and preserve this magniBicent estate located in our backyard, unites us with citizens of Sitges on the other side of the Atlantic. Those who went on our fundraising cruise in April experienced the small town of Sitges’ gratitude to the memory of the Town’s Adopted Son, Charles Deering. One hundred and ten years from the time Deering Birst visited Sitges, we were welcomed like long lost family with choral songs, champagne, and stories of the beloved adopted son’s vision, philanthropy and economic contributions. The stories we share are similar, like here in Cutler, Deering built an “architectural gem” in Sitges and Billed it at the time President Maria and husband David toast a very successful fundraiser with art by renowned artists. The town’s warm cruise to Spain…with side trips to Sitges and Tamarit. welcome given to us was inspiring because it demonstrates their deep “If we love, and we do, appreciation for Charles Deering’s vision and legacy which we both strive to what Charles Deering preserve. I highly encourage you to participate in any future trips where we seek to bequeathed us…If we further understand Charles Deering’s legacy, whether here in Miami, Chicago or consider it to be so Spain. -

The Romance of the Reaper
The Romance Of The Reaper By Herbert Newton Casson The Romance Of The Reaper CHAPTER I THE STORY OF MCCORMICK THIS Romance of the Reaper is a true fairy tale of American life—the story of the magicians who have taught the civilised world to gather in its harvests by machinery. On the old European plan—snip—snip—snipping with a tiny hand-sickle, every bushel of wheat required three hours of a man’s lifetime. To-day, on the new American plan—riding on the painted chariot of a self-binding harvester, the price of wheat has been cut down to ten minutes a bushel. “When I first went into the harvest field,” so an Illinois farmer told me, “it took ten men to cut and bind my grain. Now our hired girl gets on the seat of a self-binder and does the whole business.” This magical machinery of the wheat-field solves the mystery of prosperity. It explains the New Farmer and the miracles of scientific agriculture. It accounts for the growth of great cities with their steel mills and factories. And it makes clear how we in the United States have become the best fed nation in the world. Hard as it may be for this twentieth century generation to believe, it is true that until recently the main object of all nations was to get bread. Life was a Search for Food—a desperate postponement of famine. Cut the Kings and their retinues out of history and it is no exaggeration to say that the human race was hungry for ten thousand years. -

WILLIAM DEERING WILLIAM DEERING BORN IN MAINE, 1826 DIED IN FLORIDA, 1913 CHICAGO PRIVATELY PRINTED 1914 V. w William Deering, in 1899, in the seventy-third year of his aye d FOREWORD It will be obvious that this book is a com- pilation made from various sources. It was made immediately after Mr. Deering's death. From the nature of the material and the haste of the work it has been impossible to avoid many repetitions, which, though regrettable, were nevertheless unavoidable. Inaccuracies also doubtless will be found. WILLIAM DEERING HISTORICAL SKETCH William Deering, son of James and Eliza (Moore) Deering, was born at South Paris, Maine, April 25, 1826. He was educated at the local schools and at the Read- field Seminary, Maine. He had begun the study of medicine under the celebrated Doctor Barrows of Frye- burg, when his father, in charge of the woolen mill at Paris, needing his assistance, he postponed the study of medicine, as he then supposed, for a year. This was the beginning of a long business career that proved a very successful one of exceptionally far-reaching results. Among the various business pursuits that Mr. Deering followed were large dealings in the lands of what was then the far and sparsely settled West. With a far-sightedness that was characteristic of the man, he early foresaw a great future for these fertile lands, and for several years dealt heavily in them, particularly in those of Illinois and Iowa. -

Historical Timeline
Historical timeline brought to you by casecoltingersoll.com Historical timeline From 1831 to 2000 1831 First successful reaper demonstrated at Steele's Tavern, Virginia by Cyrus Hall McCormick. This invention and McCormick's later self‐raking feature, allowed one man to cut 40 acres in a day versus what 5 men could do by hand. The reaper and McCormick product development, marketing and manufacturing initiatives are considered the key drivers in the foundation of the farm equipment industry worldwide. 1834 - 1860 The McCormick Harvesting Company is the first in the growing farm equipment industry to establish a broad product warranty, an aggressive sales system supported by a continent wide network of branch houses and company sponsored advertising, credit for purchasing machines and machine modifications free of charge. 1842 Jerome Increase Case (1819‐1891) takes a crude "ground hog" threshing machine with him from Williamstown, New York, to Rochester, Wisconsin. There he improves the thresher and establishes his company. 1843 Jerome Case relocates to Racine, Wisconsin, on the shore of Lake Michigan because of the availability of water power. He builds a factory to manufacture crude threshers, making improvements as new models are built. 1847 McCormick moves his factory to Chicago recognizing the westward expansion of the US. That Reaper Works became the largest in the Midwest, the site of which was later the headquarters of International Harvester Company located in the heart of downtown Chicago on the river at Michigan Avenue across from the Wrigley Building. 1859 The reaper earns a Gold Medal the Royal Exposition in Crystal Palace, London England signaling the entrance of the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company in Europe. -
História De Case Ih Tradición De Liderazgo
HISTÓRIA DE CASE IH TRADICIÓN DE LIDERAZGO História de Case IH Case IH representa una parte de cada una de las grandes marcas de maquinaria agrícola que se unieron para ser parte de su historia y de su evolución. El comienzo de esta trayectoria fue en 1842, cuando la mecanización de la agricultura comenzaba a nacer. Jerome Case fundó entonces en Racine, ciudad del estado de Wisconsin, Estados Unidos, la “Threshig Machine Buildings”, una fábrica de máquinas trilladoras. Las máquinas de Case separaban los granos y trillaban diez veces más trigo que los métodos manuales. Esto representó un avance que cambiaría el curso de la historia de la mecanización agrícola mundial. En 1869 Jerome Case fabricó su primer motor a vapor, adoptando a partir de entonces como logo de sus productos la “Old Abe”, el poderoso símbolo patriótico de la Guerra Civil Americana. En 1886, ya era el mayor fabricante de máquinas a vapor del mundo. Presente en los mercados donde la agricultura es más avanzada, Case IH crea, diseña, y desarrolla patrones de referencia en tecnología agrícola, ofreciendo soluciones para todas las necesidades del sector, demostrando así porque fue, es y será sinónimo de tecnología. 1831 1860 1831 Cyrus Hall McCormick inventó la cosechadora mecánica. 1831 Cyrus Hall McCormick hizo una demostración de su cosechadora mecánica en la Taverna Steele, Virginia. La cosechadora podía cortar 10 acres por día – el equivalente al trabajo de cinco hombres. Posteriormente, el acrecento un recurso de auto recolección que permitia que un hombre cortase 40 acres en un día. El patentó la cosechadora en 1834.
