Administrative / Biographical History

International Harvester Company was formed by a merger in 1902 between two of the largest American manufacturers of harvesting machinery, McCormick and Deering Harvester Company. Three other firms joined the merger: Milwaukee Harvester Company, Plano Manufacturing Company and Warder, Bushnell and Glasner.

This new corporation became the world's dominant manufacturer of a wide range of agricultural implements and machines.

The subsidiary company, International Harvester Company of Great Britain Limited, was incorporated in 1906 with offices located at 115 Southwark Street, London. In 1908 the company relocated to 80 Finsbury Pavement and later to Harvester House, 259 City Road, London. The works were located at Old Ford on the river Lea, London.
