In 1884, local business leaders led by Charles Harrington, John Sanborn and James White subscribed to $100,000 worth of stock in Upton Manufacturing
Co., which made steam-traction engines in Battle Creek. In 1890, the company changed its name to Port Huron Engine & Thresher. After several lean
years, it prospered and expanded with factories at three separate sites. Its main complex stood on the west side of 24th Street in Port Huron
Township.

Bonus Book:
:: 1906 Science of Threshing Book Operators Manual
VLR is please to present to you this BONUS 1906 publication - The
Science of Successful Threshing Book.
The object of this book is to enable the owners and the operators of
“Case” Threshing Machinery to become familiar with the construction
and operation of their engines and machines. The aim has been to avoid
theorizing and only such statements are made as have been demonstrated
practical, by actual field experience. The fact is appreciated that it
is impossible to lay down specific rules for operating threshing
machinery, under the ever varying conditions of grain, straw and
weather, but it is hoped that the suggestions herein embodied will
enable a man of ordinary intelligence to operate his machine
successfully, and even to become an expert himself.”
The perfect book for those of us lucky enough to own such vintage
equipment, but better still, it is ideal for those arm chair steam
engineers, to get a taste of what operating such machinery would be
like. A very fun book to read.
196 pages.
