"From the Sublime to the Ridiculous" Field Tests
| Cartoon on the last page of a McCormick catalog. The cartoon depicts the World's Fair field-trials in Wayne, Illinois, at which the McCormick mower prevailed. The cartoon goes on to also illustrate the attempts of competing implement manufacturers to win awards for their machines, including choosing more advantageous conditions, holding floor instead of field examinations, and "bas(ing) the awards upon the exhibitor's written description accompanied by a photograph". |
