Stories from the early days of tractor sales
(This review is excerpted from Successful Farming magazine. To order the book, please see below.)|
As a successful young salesperson in the early '30's, John Deere recruited Morrissey to convert determined horse farmers in Ohio into tractor operators. "They were concerned about buying fuel, but I assured them that tractors didn't use that much fuel and only eat when they're being used," he says. Morrissey worked at a Caterpillar Army engine plant in Illinois during World War II. After the war, he opened his own Deere business at Plymouth, Indiana. He finally retired in 1989. Morrissey shares many humorous anecdotes and even some sales tips throughout Reflections. The softbound book is over 130 pages and includes nearly as many photographs." |
