Early 1917 Linn advertisement showing the prototype built here over the winter of 1915-1916, before they had a picture of a new production tractor to use in advertising.
Text from the ad is listed below
The Linn Tractor
You have all heard of it weighing only four tons
and drawing four times its own weight, having a
carrying capacity of 5 tons on its own body.
It vi11 work on all kinds of ground because
it is of the self-laying track or caterpillar type and
May 1930 they staged this Boy Scout camping photo for publicity of the Linn "U-Can-Back" trailer H.H. Linn was building in his own firm in West End, Oneonta. The site is under the town sandpile now at the back of the fairgrounds, you can see the spillway (between the lower pond and mud pond) in the background. Ken Cooke is at left, Adolphus Sloan and the Wheeler boys (sons of Ed Wheeler Jr., grandsons of Mrs. H.H. Linn), and George Whitman?
We seem to have few images from western Town of Morris, this is another xeroxed bill head, paired up with the only known image from Allen's sawmill at the outlet of Allen's Pond, upper Dimmock Hollow.
