LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Signed by the president, no less

I came upon this letter and bill of lading while sifting through old family memorabilia. I was unable to find an address for the William Galloway & Sons Co., but from what I am able to find online, the company is no longer in existence. I am sending these on to your magazine. I thought you might enjoy them. The name should actually be Rudolph Schemm. He was my great-uncle.

Reader recommendation for new book

In the August 2022 magazine, two articles really caught my eye. One began on Page 12: “Ten Inventions that Changed the Face of Agriculture in America” by Sam Moore, and the other, “Legendary Tractor Builders” by Lee Klancher, began on Page 18. Readers who enjoyed those articles would really enjoy reading the book by Neil Dahlstrom. It featured the 20-year period that introduced power farming.
