A Couple Interesting Reads

I found these in my small stack and thought I would share them. I don't think I have shared them before.

Sorry, I thought they would be clearer than that.

Sounds like a salesman.

You can switch to modern view to be clearer, but it will be smaller and harder to see.
This website does the same with pictures. They end up out of whack, fuzzy and distorted on Classic View.

Mine are put on classic. Maybe they are fuzzy to others and not me???

When I open your post, the pics are fuzzy, but when I reply just like am now, they are clear because they shrink down to the size they are in modern view.

Sounds good. As long as there is a way to read them.

It must have been a crazy time for everyone involved. The farm economy had been in a depression for 20 years, so farmers were afraid to buy anything, yet their machinery was old and worn out. On the other hand, machinery companies needed sales for revenue and also coming was steel rationing based on sales by county, so the big push for sales by Case. Also, most of the tractor companies were unveiling new and improved models in 1939, so the competition must have been intense. Thanks for posting these, Ben.

The War is what pulled the US out of the Depression. It would have ended sooner, the Depression, if FDR hadn't screwed with business and industry. We don't know what a "bad economy" is really like!

Then I will have to see if I can figure out how to downsize the pictures. Not all that handy at computer skills....

Really? I grew up in the same period hearing stories about the Depression and people losing homes, businesses and farms, about the gov't seizing private gold money and of the crime going on. I was warned incessantly about how good things were and about not trusting banks or politicians.

Brett,those were the things my elders talked about,wasn't meaning to sound sheilded or special.guess my words didn't really come out as I meant them.obly meant that things were alot easier my generation as opposed to theirs.
