Front cover of a brochure produced by Samson Tractor Company, a division of General Motors Corporation, to advertise the Samson "Iron Horse." The cover features an illustration of men using a tractor to work in a farm field surrounded by a border of corn and gold coins. The text at the bottom of the cover reads: "Which Side of the Fence Are You On? the side of efficiency, big crops, and profit — or the side of lost motion, expense, poor crops and small profits?"
