This picture was sent us by R. D. Hall, Ewell, Michigan. Neither of us have any information on it. It is just a typical old time threshing picture. Just look it over and enjoy it. If your picture is on it let us know. --Elmer.

Harold is always skimpy with his information. All it said was -- Galesburg - 1959. I think the picture will give you most of the information.

A threshing and baling scene near Port Royal, Pennsylvania, July
1911. Case threshing outfit with Kinzer swinging stacker. Huber
engine on the baler. We do not know the the make of the baler. This
is unusual in that it is a ‘western’ scene in the East .At
that time and place threshing was not done in the field. The
threshing and baling in one operation was an experiment. It worked
providing they controlled the speed of the feeding. I want my
mid-western friends to note the ‘bundle’ wagon. The man on
the engine cab is my father. — Elmer.
