ABOUT THE COVER

The entrances of most John Deere factories and branch houses of the past have been very attractive. The entrance of the old Waterloo Tractor Works, for example, has been shown on these pages at least a few times, and it was pure class with the twin facing stairways and huge picture window. Not so with the Moline Tractor Works where the “L” Series Tractors were built. This facility was only a portion of the John Deere Wagon Works, and, as can be seen in the only known photo of the Tractor Works entrance, it wasn’t very impressive. The sign, above and slightly right of the trucker’s head, reads “MOLINE TRACTOR WORKS,” under which it says “Office” with a left-facing arrow, and “Receiving Dept” with a right-facing arrow. The material being handled is in-process munitions for WWII, with which the Wagon Works was heavily involved. December 15, 1942.
