Automobile Stuck in Rural Road
Image
Three employees of International Harvester's Agricultural Extension Department working to free a car stuck in a muddy rural road. The original caption reads: "Many times the roads were not of the best and the speakers were greatly delayed in making their appointments. In going from Turnpike school to Springville school near Pontotoc, Mississippi just such roads were encountered but after an hour's hard work our difficulties were overcome and we were able to make our next engagement notwithstanding the mud on our clothes."
December 7, 1915
