Sycamore, IL: Industries from 1913

From the fifth photo

I was going to skip these pictures until I noticed Rumley was the president of The Illinois Thresher Co. (last photo), and I verified that you can access the embedded link without a Facebook login. (Click one of the pictures.) Then just a couple of days later, I saw a steam tractor made by the Illinois Thresher Co.. The picture also shows that the Chicago Great Western had quite a few tracks through the industrial part of Sycamore, IL.
