In late 1915 H.H. Linn was showing off his tractor and having Norm Carey take images like this, printed by the Morris Chronicle in an early catalog, showing the 1915 rebuilt prototype pulling two town road graders on the flat up past McWilliam's on county rt. 51, with the original town tractor, a International Harvestor traction engine, in the background as a suggestion.
