Cyms McCormick’s inventive
mind was stimulated by his ex
penences as a youth growing up
in the Shenandoah Valley of
Virginia. In 1831 he patented a
hillside plow. He had a machine
cutting gram that same year.
But it wasn’t until 1834 that he
received a patent on his reaper
which was to go 'down in his
tory as the most important agri
cultural advance of the 19th
century.
The McCormick reaper en
abled farmers to do two to six
times more work and add to the
acreage they could handle. It
facilitated the settlement of
new areas of the country, too.
And it stimulated the invention
of other farm machines.
For yeais, inventor-manufac
turer McCormick on
his reaper, including such new
ideas as a giam binder.
At the same time, he intro
duced mass production in fac
tories near the wheat regions.
He sold new models of- the
reaper at stated prices each
Jar, and reduced prices on .the
previous year’s models. He- as
signed agents to areas and pro
vided them with demonstrator
models and spare parts to sell.
By 1851 his reapers'were so
famous they were exhibited at
the London World’s Fair. And
before McCormick’s death in
1884, he had also received
awards from exhibitions in-Par
is, London, Hamburg, Lille,
Vienna, and Melbourne,
