Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 85, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 June 1899 — The Flag Follows Trade. [ARTICLE]

The Flag Follows Trade.

Uncle Sam may now boast that “the sun never sets on the American flag,” but the Stars and Stripes have but followed the achievements of the American inventor and mechanic. Years ago American harvesting machinery led the way and created a demand tor itself in lands where “Old Glory” was never seen outside of books. Deering Harvesting Machines, made in Chicago, are sold to-day by the shipload from New Zealand to Norway, and from South Africa to Siberia, and in every land where grass and grain are harvested. The name of “Deering” is a household word the world over.
