Another VLR CD-Rom republication exclusive - the 1913 Huber tractor catalog, page after page of info and illustrations detailing these splendid farm trators.
Edward Huber was an American inventor and industrialist, whom established his role in the modernization of American agriculture when he invented a “revolving hay rake” in the mid 1800’s that allowed one man to do in three hours what three men could do in a day. Relocating to Marion, Ohio, Huber patented his hay rake and began a full line of agricultural implements. Huber's production lines ran only in second to that of Cyrus McCormick, the inventor of the McCormick Reaper. Huber also began to build and market affordable steam tractors, and was the first producer of modern gasoline powered tractors.
