n the early twentieth
century, gasoline power transformed the quality of
American farm labor. Safer, cheaper, simpler, and more

chores. This poster shows gasoline powered tractors and stationary engines performing such chores as
plowing, cutting wood, pumping water, separating cream, and
grinding feed.
