John Deere - Triumph

Alamogordo, NM - The year is 1880. The United States and Canada are predominantly rural societies. The John Deere Company is seeking new products. The buggy business and wagon trade look promising and are a natural fit with their plows and cultivators. By 1881 Wagons enter the product line. Deere & Co. quickly established itself as a market leader in wagon manufacture by acquiring highly regarded, established builders. By century’s end, company catalogs will feature Old Hickory, New Moline, and Mitchell wagons, as well as Derby, Red Star, White Elephant, Victoria, Goldsmith, and Sterling buggies. It wasn’t until 1910 that the actual ‘John Deere’ brand name appeared on wagons rolling off the assembly line. At its peak John Deere laid claim to having the largest Wagon Works in the world. During the first World War the John Deere Wagon Works prospered by filling military wagon orders. But, by the mid-1940’s farmers were looking for steel wagons with rubber tires and wood wagon production at John Deere ended in 1947. Thank You for Making this Daily Photo the #1 Pick on 06-23-2020
