International Harvester "Dealer News" edition cover featuring images showing the contruction of several bases of operations ("prototype" dealerships) around the U.S. The captions attached to the images read: "The majority of International Harvester dealers who have erected new buildings or have remodeled old stores, were principally after one thing - better and larger service and part facilities. It can be stated without fear of contradiction, that those dealers who have developed new Bases of Operatons have at least doubled their capacity for rendering more efficient shop and parts service to their customers. [1] Preparation of the land - J.P. Curry Implement Store, Greensburg, Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh g/I branch. [2] Under way - steel standing: Central Texas Auto and Hardware Company, Bryan, Texas, Houston branch. [3] Taking shape - it won't be long now: William G. Talbot, Cumberland, Wisconsin, Minneapolis g/I branch. [4] Beautiful and efficient - the finished product: Bock Truck and Tractor Company, Trenton, Missouri, Kansas City branch."
