Description: An interesting look at one of the documents given to farmers so they could get credit for farming equipment without having to go through a bank. Unsure how many agriculture equipment manufacturing companies offered this type of credit, but this one is from the Deering Harvester Co. in 1899. This is before Deering would merge with the McCormick Harvesting Machine Co. in 1902 to form the International Harvester Co. It's rare to find these because they would have been sent to Deering and be part of their records. Doesn't appear this was sent but, it was partially filled out by a farmer in Union City, Iowa. Looks like an easier application than what's required by banks, but it does raise curiosity as to why farmers didn't utilize their banks - an interesting avenue to explore. Very good condition, well-preserved for a paper item of this age. Just a little browning from age, one light crease and a small corner bend. The size is approximately 3-3/4* x 5-1/4"
