The Great Depression. Did you read it?

I read it. The depression affected a lot of companies, why didnt all tractor companies fail? The article did not say why THAT company failed. My guess: unproven track record, because new.

Sears thought it would sell. Then the economy collapsed.

A lot of tractor and car manufacturers did fail in the 30s. What are you talking about?

Price!

It's always about the price.

Everyone knows this.

The Bradley-Graham sold for $1700 and the IH W-40 was $1300 but the B-G had a lot more features.
