INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER DEALER DECAL COLLECTION

THIS IS THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER DEALER THAT I REMEMBER. THE HARDWARE WAS ON MAIN STREET IN BROOKVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA. THE BUILDING  THAT THEY USED FOR FARM MACHINERY WAS ON HUNTS ALLEY TO THE REAR OF THE HARDWARE  STORE, AND THE PARTS DEPARTMENT AS I REMEMBER WAS IN THE BASEMENT. I KNOW THAT THEY SOLD A FARMALL " H " WITH 2 BOTTOM LITTLE GENIUS PLOW, 25-V MOWER AND CULTIVATOR. TOJ. P. WINSLOW WHO OWNED THE " OVER THE HILL FARM"  THAT WAS LOCATED, ON THE NORTH SIDE OF WHERE THE INTERCHANGE OF INTERSTATE 80 AND ROUTE 28 IS NOW THIS THE FARM WHERE MY FATHER WORKED. IT IS ALSO THE FARM WHERE THE JEFFERSON COUNTY FAIR GROUNDS ARE LOCATED. THAT FARMALL  "H " WAS THE FIRST TRACTOR I EVER DROVE.    STICKER # 12A

..BROOKVILLE HARDWARE  WAS THERE, AND JUST WITH FARM EQUIPMENT.

 # 12 

 REYNOLDSVILLE HARDWARE WAS ON MAIN STREET BESIDE THE REYNOLDSVILLE BANK. THEY WERE JUST  A FARM EQUIPMENT DEALER.

 # 38

 MAHONING VALLEY MILLING COMPANY WAS ON INDIANA STREET IN PUNXSUTAWNEY, PENNSYLVANIA. THE AT THAT TIME WERE A FULL LINE DEALER, WITH TRUCKS AND FARM EQUIPMENT.  # 107

       CAYLOR MILL WAS ALSO ADVERTISING BUT  WITH NO IH ;LOGO BUT I KNOW THAT LATER THEY WERE A INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER DEALER.

BROOKVILLE HARDWARE WAS AROUND TILL THE MID FORTY'S WHEN H. E. MOTTERN CAME INTO THE PICTURE

 12 A

  # 29  H. E. MOTTERN HAD GOOD INTENTIONS WHEN HE BUILT A BUILDING THA LOOKED LIKE THIS ONE ON EAST MAIN STREET IN BROOKVILLE. IT WAS BUILT TO THE SPECIFFICATIONS OF THE INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER COMPANY.  I DO NOT THINK THAT HE EVER OPRNED THE DOORS OF THE NEW BUILDING, FOR BUSINESS. JEFFERSON ELECTRIC WAS IN THE BUILDING FOR YEARS AND NOW THE  BROOKVILLE FIREMANS CLUB IS NOW OWNS IT                                                       

# 26  ALBERT C. ( CUFFYY ) DeMOTTE WAS AT THE  BOTTOM OF THE HILL ON EAST MAIN STREET OIN BROOKVILLE WITH INTERNATIONAL TRUCKS. CUFFY HAD THE LARGEST WRECKER IN THE AREA AT THIS TIME.

 MAHONING VALLEY MILLNG COMPANY WAS STILL ON INDIANA STREET IN PUNXSUTAWNEY, I AM NOT  SURE IF THEY STILL HAD FARM MACHINERY BUT I KNOW THEY HAD TRUCKS. # 107A

# 17  CAYLOR MILL WAS IN RINGGOLD WITH FARM EQUIPMENT

 # 7  IN THE  LATE FORTY'S  BROOKVILLE EQUIIPMENT  WAS ESTABLISHED BY JACK, SAM , AND LADD REITZ IN THE HARRY WILLIAMSON BUILDING NEXT TO THE PINECREEK FIRE HALL WITH THERE STORAGE IN THE QUANSET HUT BACK OF THE H. E. MOTTERN BUILDING ON EAST MAIN STREET IN BROOKVILLE. IN THE WINTER OF 1951 I THINK. THERE WAS AN ICE STORM AND THIS BUILDING WAS DAMAGED, TO THE POINT WHERE IT WAS MOSTLY CAVED IN . THIS IS WHERE I BECAME INVOLVED WITH THE INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER COMPANY AT THE AGE OF 13 WHEN THEY WERE REPAIRING IT, I WOULD  CHECK EVERY DAY TO SEE THE PROGRESS OF THE REPAIRS. WHEN I WAS AROUND I WOULD  FICK UP SCRAPS  AND CARRY THEM OUT OF THE WAY AND SOON,  I AS ON THE PAYROLL AT @30 CENTS AN HOUR.  I THEN STARTED TO SWEEP THE FLOOR OFTHE SHOW ROOM AND PARTS DEPARTMENT. EVERY NIGHT. AND  I WAS INVOLVED IN THE SETTING UP OF EQUIPMENT, PUTTING PARTS AWAY,, SELLING PARTS,  AND LATER ON GOING TO FT. WAYNE , INDIANA FOR NEW TRUCKS. IN 1955  I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW FARMALL CUB WITH PLOW, BLADE MOWER, AND DISC.  I THINK IT WAS 1958 I BOUGHT A NEW A-110 PICKUP ANDIN 1961 I BOUGHT A CUB CADET.

 # 26A  CUFFY DeMOTTE STILL HAD THE INTERNATIONAL TRUCK SIGN ON HIS EAST MAIN STREET BROOKVILLE BUILDING AND STILL WAS THE HEAVEY DUTY TOWER.

 # 76  ATLAS EQUIPMENT MOVED A BRANCH OF THERE CONSTRUCTIONEQUIPMENT FROM PITTSBURGH TO BROOKVILKLE. IN THE LATE 1950'S. I SPENT SOME TIME IN THERE PARTS DEPARTMENT, THE BUILDING  WHERE PENELEC IS AT THE INTERSECTION OF SOUTH MAIN STREET AND ROUTE 28 IS WHERE THEY WERE LOCATED
