My Grandmother worked for International Havester all her life :-) Love these Walksoft !
Did she work in a mfg. facility?
Yes ! I would pick her up sometimes and the huge factory had a terrible odor and it was very very hot in there . The building is still standing that I know of . I have just not been to that side of town in awhile . It was there a few years ago . Closed .
She passed away in the 70's . I think lung illness from fumes myself and no open windows .
That is 1970's not her age she was 62 or 64 when she passed
I have a collection of these with my partriotic cards and show farming on the prairies. One card shows a woman by the side of the road, as a farmer stops, but closer inspection shows it is a man !! Love those cards. The ones in Canada show a lot of symbols like the maple leaf and the beaver. Phil.
That's terrible Mani, she was way to young, lung illness's are so debilitating. Where was the facility & what did they build there?
Thanks Mani & Phil for the comments.
Phil are you going to post some of them for us to see?
