The International Harvester (IH) prototype building evokes nostalgia that only “Red Power” fans can understand. Sort of like McDonald’s golden arches, the prototype building design was identified throughout the U.S. as an IH dealership. In 1946, the first day of deer season, Frank Bartlow began construction based on the IH Company’s specifications. Offices are made of knotty pine and glass. The parts room houses bins constructed of lumber from trees harvested on the land on which it sets. Bartlow sawed and planed the wood himself. The showroom has floor-to ceiling glass windows that illumi nate tiie International Harvester/ McCormick Deering wares that were on display.

A farm market in operation since 1932 on the campus has provided not only an educational opportunity but also an outlet for the college’s products. Flowers, vegetables, fruits, nursery plants, honey, and com post produced as students get hands-on experience find their way to the roadside stand. “The students enjoy being here,” he said. However both market manager and students have faced stressful days, as in any retail operation, he said. Pressure from customers, for ex ample, may be a trial “but the kids team to deal with it,” he said. “We try to satisfy every one.” Students who work at the stand help customers, run the register, take care of the produce and plants, restock shelves, open and close the store, and price the products under Moran’s direc tion. In the summer three fiill-time, one part-time, and one intern aid Moran at the stand. During the school year, 7-8 students help at the stand, each giving about 12 hours a week. In addition, the stand is “occa sionally used as a lab where teachers will bring the class” to $37.00 Per Year leant about retail sales and the workings of the stand, according to Moran. Earnings from the stand go into the college’s general fund. About seven workers provide produce from the fields. An ornamentals production manager, a full-time assistant, and six students in the spring (their busiest season) produce the colorful plants that draw custom ers to the stand. One student re mains employed for the summer. A Following “We do have a following,” said Moran. “The public wants our product. “The private labeling has given us name recognition,” said Moran.
