Included in this accession are many examples of IH's experiment with a “plant” magazine. Postwar company growth, and the growing desire to craft a unified company-wide corporate identity, made investment in company magazines ever more desirable to International Harvester. These “plant” magazines, printed between 1946 and early 1949, were produced shortly after the company created a company magazine section in the consumer relations department. In order to insure standardized quality of editorial content, the “plant” magazines that sprung from this initiative often contained (nearly) identical covers, photographs, and articles, alongside local content. These magazines are indicated with the word [plant] in brackets after the titles.

Most of the publications here are intended for employees, but some were obviously created and distributed with a more general audience in mind. These magazines are indicated with the word [external] after their titles.

Most of the publications within this accession are incomplete runs. For a more detailed listing of which issues are available in this accession, see the Index of Titles and Issues in M2007-106.
