Misc.
	Frank Moore’s threshing crew, in the late 1910s or early 1920s, somewhere in the Four Corners neighborhood. “Pretty soon Frank Moore will be worrying about railroad rates. He bought himself a thrashing engine the other day looks so much like a locomotive that it is a cinch he will get the idea he is a railroad president and will be making a kick for higher freight rates. Not just now, however, for he hasn’t gotten over the effects of having to pay freight on the new Nichols and Shepard separator he has bought to match the engine. His engine is a J. I. Case and it will be [sic] remembered that Jay Eye See was a ‘goer.’ This makes two threshing outfits Mr. Moore now owns and he can hardly wait for the threshing season to open up. Some men would rather run a threshing machine than be ‘governor.’” Gardner Gazette, May 22, 1914.
