Jeff, umm, I was born and raised in Wisconsin. I still live there and have never lived in any other state.
KRAIG - "Shouldn't there be two e in "employees"?
Haven't I told you guys IH did a cost savings study that saved them Tens of Thousands of Dollars a year by dropping one of the "E"s from the work employe. I know I have over @ RPM.
You guys think I make this stuff UP don't you!

Denny I couldn't resist...my 2nd College Edition of The American Heritage Dictionary ...employee also employe or employe'.
Mea Culpa
PAUL - Hi Neighbor! Yep, My Webster's New Ideal Dictionary copywrite 1973 shows both one and two "E"s also.
When you stop and think of ALL the printed forms that have the word "employe" on it so many times, and the dozens of plants & offices IH had world wide, removing a letter saved a lot of paper and ink. Highest employe count I ever heard for IH was 35,000.

Denny, yes I recall you posting about them dropping one e, but you'd think that on a plaque they'd include the second e. But then I guess they'd have had to make the plaque longer or the font smaller...
KRAIG - It was Company Policy, anything HR had anything to do with it was "employe".
Maybe our current state & federal gov't should do something similar!
I think it was the first issue of HERITAGE IRON magazine had an article about famous homes of the McCormick & Deering families that are open for tours, been a year since I read the article but I think they were all around the Rockford & NW Chicago suburban area. Make a nice day trip for many of us.

Hmmm, shouldn't that be McCormick & Dering families?

I bet TOM H has been to PLANO, IL. Historic home of Deering's Plano Harvester and Plano Plastics. Plus a truck stop Dad used to stop at for supper every trip to Chicago Stockyards until Interstate 80 was completed across IL.

Dennis,

TOM - Your work on the IH family estates sounds really interesting!
Buddy & I were at Sandwich RPRU, till it rained Sat. afternoon. There was a nice little green & yellow 530 all painted up nice, think he had an attachment on or with it... What was the owner thinking when he brought it to a RPRU?
My Buddy even gave me his RPRU commemorative ILL license plate since IH Farmall's Super Series was the feature and had a Super H on it. I remember up on the north end of the show grounds there was a bit of Allis orange equipment which we checked out since my Buddy collects Allis.

Tom,
While you are out and about looking up IH History, the largest casting ever made in the Louisville Works foundry, the Iron Man (or the million sollar man as it was called in house cause they figured that's what it cost to make)is in your back yard at the American Foundry Society, 1695 North Penny Lane, Schaumburg, IL (south of I-90, north of Golf Road/route 58, west of I-290). It was in the lobby but from a picture on their web site http://www.afsinc.org/ it appears it, or a replica, is now outside.
This is life size casting of a man pouring metal with a ladle. It was made starting with a mannequin that was then added to and built up to make the mold, and then cast, and was the largest casting ever made in the Louisville foundry.

Thanks Paul, I saw that in RP magazine a while ago, but forgot about it. Not too crazy far from me, I'll see if I can get some pix of it and post them here. Lots of bits and pieces of IH history around these parts, just have to look for them.
