A Fordson tractor hauling a Ford Commercial Cars advertising trailer makes this picture unusual, since it shows the machine doing a sales job as well as farm work. The Fordson, built from 1917 and sold widely in the United States and abroad, was among the first mass-produced tractors and helped bring mechanized power to many farms that had relied on horses. Ford's marketing often used such rolling displays at fairs and dealer events to put its products in front of rural buyers. Notice how the tractor serves as both the working vehicle and the promotional spectacle.
