Wichita, Kas., May IA thousand
in this city of the American Thresher-
men. There were two hundred repre-
sentatives of the threshing machine
and attachment companies. Men wear
ing red badges and the lapels of the
coats covered with buttons were met
everywhere. The threshermen had
good time, even if the weather was
very unfavorable. They meet friends

like twenty-five threshing machine
companies and manufacturers of at
tachments represented in Wichita.

chinery arrived in this city to be made
part of the attractions of the first
threshermen,s convention. Flags, ban
ners and advertising matter decorated
the trains from the engineers pilot to
the red lights On the rear of the
coaches that carried officials of the
respective companies and railroads.
The frequent rains that the decora-
tons had encountered while enroute
had rendered some of the flags and
bunting of a dismal hue, but the let
tering on the fiat cars, the fancy col
ored engines and the shining red
separators lent color to the machinery
displays.
The ]. ]. Case Threshing Machine
company of Racine, Wis, sent thirty
two cars of threshing machines and
attachments from the factory. With
this outfit came the calliope of the
American Threshermen of Madison,
Wis. The calliope was manipulated by
Mr.. Harry D. Clark, treasurer of the
American Threshermen, and he did his
job well. This train is consigned to
Oklahoma Territory alone. The train
load represents two days work in the
factory.
The Avery Manufacturing company
had 81 cars loaded with their ma
chinery. This trainload is all sold in
territory tributary to Wichita.
