This month’s cover feature is a sharp looking Handy Andy
Galloway, owned by Ellsworth Olson of Westby, Wisconsin. The photo
was taken while the engine was on display at the 1976 Hesper-Mabel
Steam Engine Days Show at Mabel, Minnesota.

Pictured is my Father’s threshing rig that we used for
several years. It was an 18-36 HI’ Anil man & Taylor
tractor. The separator was a 28′ X 48′ Advance Rumely. This
photo was taken in July 1934.
From left-Charles L. Studebaker, owner of the rig; Walter
Stockslager, D. Rosenhagen, L. Hutton, workman-unknown, L. Kessler,
Calvin Huffman at whose place we were threshing near Lewisburg,
Ohio and myself, Darrell Studebaker, age 11, at the blower; the two
on the grain wagon-unknown.
There were 56 large loads of straw put on this stack.
At the ‘MID-AMERICAN SHOW’ at Tipton, Indiana in 1975,
Bruce Atkinson of P.O. Box #65 Monrovia Indiana 46157 showed this
log-saw. It has a 2-cycle engine which is mounted on two stringers
supported there-to with brackets on the under side of the
stringers. The large driven gear and the small pinion gear are both
cast-iron. Only the letters AMI found on the machine. When I asked
the question, ‘What is it.’ He replied, ‘I wish I could
tell you.’ – Now can any of you readers tell him the
answer?
Pictured above is my daughter, Janet Lynn, age 5, who is a real

International bought new in 1914. Engine is belted to Sears Roebuck
saw mandrel. Note steel wheel wagon and wood pile behind saw.
