"Look what Dad bought for you, Bill!"
This circa-1919 advertising sign for the Titan tractor was issued by International Harvester Co. The original ads were printed on 20- by 26-inch poster paper for display in dealerships. Just three originals are known to survive.
Grateful acknowledgement is given to David Schnakenberg, who contributed this image from his collection of pre-1910 chromolithographs of farm machinery advertising.
