In 1913 the M. Rumely Company was reorganized into two separate
entities, the M. Rumely Co. handling engineering and manufacturing
concerns, with the newly created 'Rumely Products Co.' acting as a
sales umbrella to promote the Rumely, Advance and Gaar-Scott lines.
This left the company with very little reserves to weather out tough
times in the farm market. Crop failures, droughts and a general farm
recession left the company sretched to the limit. By January, 1915,
the collpase came and the Rumely family lost control of the company.
In December, 1915, the company was reorganized as Advance-Rumely
Thresher Co. Canadian Rumely Co. was part of the sale, and continued
to operate as such. Manufacturing was centered in LaPorte, Battle
Creek and Toronto, Ontario.

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.
