Cyrus Hall McCormick founded the McCormick Deering Co. in 1831. After obtaining a patent for a new plough and special reaper in 1834, McCormick started to focus on providing his products to the large, expanding American market. In 1847, McCormick moved to Chicago where he started the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company. After merging his two companies in 1902, with help from J.P. Morgan, the International Harvester Company was born and Cyrus H. McCormick Junior was its founder and became its president.
Studebaker Bro. Mfg. Co. was founded in 1852 and incorporated in 1868 and was originally a coachbuilder, manufacturing wagons, buggies, carriages and harnesses. They then entered the automotive business in 1902 and sold vehicles under the name, "Studebaker Automobile Company". The last line of automobiles produced by Studebaker rolled of the line in 1966.
The McCormick advertisement shows poor condition with many tears and fading to the advertisement but is still in readable condition. The advertisement measures 19 1/2" L x 29 3/4" W.
