Wisconsin Historical Society (Map)
Copies of outgoing correspondence of company officials and secretaries to agents, suppliers, shippers, lawyers, inventors, and other manufacturers concerning both domestic operations and foreign trade. Topics include sales and production goals, field trials and machine performance, prices and contracts, agricultural conditions, arrangements for supplying parts, repairs, and twine, competitors and their practices, problems with unreliable agents, collection policies, agent expenses and commissions, freight routes and costs, and the expansion of the agricultural implement trade. Three letterbooks of R. B. Swift deal entirely with patent matters, the technical aspects of machine performance, new inventions, and improvements to McCormick implements. Three volumes contain the outgoing correspondence of field agents J.B. Heywood of Indianapolis, D.W. Pratt of St. Louis, and N.E. Barnes of San Francisco. One volume of circular letters to agents contains instructions on prices, sales and advertising stategy, assembly of machines, and similar matters. One letterbook of Harold F. McCormick reflects his activities as vice president of the company from 1899 to 1900. Letters of Cyrus H. McCormick, particularly concerning foreign markets, appear after he joined the company in 1879.
This material was microfilmed in 1990-1992 with the support of a grant from the Office of Preservation of the National Endowment of the Humanities. Originals, with the exception of the indexes, have been destroyed.

Scope and Content Note
The original order of the volumes has been lost. Here they are arranged chronologically. Most are preceded by an internal alphabetical index to correspondents, consisting of individuals and organizations. Each reel of microfilm includes one complete volume. Indexes to the volumes (8 cubic feet) have been retained in original form after filming.
While the vast majority of the volumes contain general office correspondence, after 1876 a few scattered volumes within the chronological arrangement relate to specific departments or functions. These pertain to machine prices, rake orders, factory supplies, and invoices for repairs and are identified in a special reel list labelled Appendix A at the end of the register. Other volumes contain the correspondence of a particular company official and these too are noted in Appendix A.
