"McCormick Day"
Text
Elevated view of people, horses, and farm machines gathered on the town's main street for a "McCormick Day" celebration, with several grain binders and a brass band. "McCormick Days" were organized by McCormick dealers to celebrate the delivery of new machines to customers. Dealers used the events to promote the company and generate further sales. This event was likely organized by McCormick dealers Crowe and Payne.
