DESCRIPTION: This evening I am listing several books related to Tractors, buy more then one and make one payment for all and save on shipping, you will pay the highest shipping plus $ 1.00 for each book additional. For example this book has shipping $ 6.95, if you bought this and two other books which stated shipping $ 5.95 you would pay a total of $ 8.95 for shipping. You would need to wait for me to send a revised ebay invoice because ebay will total all of the shipping amounts and not give you the discount.

An important book for collectors of antique tractors. The following is quoted from the dust jacket flap:

Edward P. Allis was a shrewd businessman when he purchased the Reliance Works in 1861 for $ 22.72. By 1865, sales reached $ 100,000 and Edward P. Allis & Company had become a viable and thriving firm. It produced the "heavy machinery" equipment (steam engines, turbines, flour mills, etc.) which mechanized a growing America.

The following is are the main chapter headings from the table of contents (many of them have many other listings under the bold print):
