Central Alberta Antique and Model Club, Leslieville, Alberta,
Canada TOM 1HO is a new club and Paul E. Jones sends us a report on
their venture:
We had a one day show last fall and threshed barley all
afternoon, using a 224′ Case separator and a 24 Waterloo
separator. For power a stationary Case steamer which ran very nice.
Deere also a very beautiful restored 1940 John Deere. Shown also
was an old I.H.C. row crop and an old Allis Chalmers tractor. A
model T Ford motor and circular saw were used to saw wood for the
Case.
Spinning wool and knitting as well as old time butter churning
was shown. Four two-horse teams were used to haul bundles. There
was a display of 12 gas engines, all running nicely.
We had a very large and enthusiastic crowd. Three Case, one
Huming Bird and a Goodison separator, one 10-20 Oil Pull, a
Massey-Harris model 25 and a Model T motor has been donated to the
Club as well as two acres of land.
We are preparing for a larger and better show for 1978. We
can’t set a date too far in advance as we thresh from the
shock.
