A Fordson tractor, offered for sale by Parkway Motor Co. of Washington, D.C., anchors this print, which dates to about 1921. Henry Ford's company began building the light, inexpensive Fordson in 1917, and it became one of the best-selling tractors of the early 1920s, helping move farm work from horses and mules toward gasoline power. The picture comes from the National Photo Company Collection, a body of commercial work from a Washington studio, so it reflects how dealers marketed new machinery to a wide public.
