Joseph C. Galbreath, 2404 B 12th Avenue, Sterling, Illinois
61081 collects old steam advertising signs. The Case sign on the
cover is his favorite. It apparently never made its destination of
Buenos Aires. It was produced by Meek and Beach of Coshocton, Ohio.
He has been able to date it to between 1901 and 1903. It is a very
colorful depiction of South American threshing.
