(By the Associated Press.)

New York. Aug. 13.-The incorpora-
pany. articles of incorporation for which
We're filed yesterday in JERSEY City. to
day made public a statement which says
in part:
The international Harvester ComI any
has been organized under the laws Of
New Jersey with a capital stock OF
1920, 600, 900, to manufacture and sell
harvesting machinery. 1t has purchaser
the property and business CT the follow
ing manufacturers:
"The Mccormick Harvesting Machine
Company, Deering Harvester Company,
Piano Manufacturing Company, Worder.
Bushnell & Glessner Company tCham-
pion), Milwaukee Harvesting
The company is capitalized upon an ex-
ceptionally conservative basis of its as
sets of $4,000, 600 cash working capital.
The company will require no financing
and there will be no offer Of its stock
to the public, all the cash required hav-
ing been provided by its stockholders
After abiding to the dvanc in
prices Of raw material and the possible
consequent advance in the price of har-
vesting machinery unless economies in
eAiSllHS COnuIllODS o. manufacture could
be accomplished, the statement con-
tinues:
The manufacturer realize that their
welfare and the interests of the farm
ers are identical. An advance in the
price of agricultural machinery would
1nure the farmers and react upon the
manufacturers. But on the other hand,
If existing conditions continued an ad-
vance in prices would be inevitable. It
thus became necessary that either the
prices should be advanced or that sub
stantial economies should be effected
in the manufacture and distribution Of
agricultural machinery. The manage
ment of the company Will be in charge
of gentlemen who have for years been
identified with the business. The com
pany will start with ample manufacture
ing facilities. 1t has five fully equipped
manufacturing plants in the United
States and one plant in process of con-
struction in Canada
