Expand/CollapseHISTORICAL NOTE

The Minneapolis-Moline Company (MMC) was a large tractor and machinery producer based in Minnesota. It was the product of a merger among three companies in 1929: Minneapolis Steel & Machinery (MSM), the Minneapolis Threshing Machine Company (MTMC), and the Moline Plow Company (MPC). Headquartered in Hopkins, Minnesota, production sites included Minneapolis's Lake Street and Como Avenue plants and Moline, Illinois.

Expand/CollapseSCOPE AND CONTENTS

The collection includes correspondence and subject files, printed materials (sales brochures, product catalogs, price lists, and annual reports), clippings, patent information, corporate newsletters, some public relations department files, films, photographs, and tractor schematics. Advertising material includes work produced by Argentine illustrator and painter Florencio Molina Campos. Most of the collection came either from the office of public relations director William W. Lundell or from his personal collection of Minneapolis-Moline materials.

The films in this collection date from the 1950s to around 1966. The bulk of the films are related to farming or feature Minneapolis-Moline farming equipment, but some include footage from banquets, magic shows, and contests.

Many images depict Minneapolis-Moline tractors, implements, and power units, both in the factory or dealer showroom and working in farm fields or other outdoor settings. There are also many images from various perspectives of machinery parts, most of which appear to have been created specifically for use in sales brochures, advertising material, and catalogs.
