I'm 70 and we still use many of the items advertised there! As for that model Singer sewing machine, I still have it! In singer circles, that model was the Zenith of the Singer Line, and they are still in demand and use.

I enjoy watching your videos for the old ads. Im 67 so they're all from while I was younger. Yes Long made grain bins, there were several around my area. We had a 6" x 51' Long brand auger for several years. The tire driven bush hog use to be called a "squealer" because of the tire slipping on the metal disc it drove with the blades on it. I wish I had a bunch of those old magazines to go through and enjoy on winter days!

I'm only (?) 56, but I remember a lot of those brands in the ads . I have run Danuser Diggers and pounders, as well as 5+2 trucks. I grew up with a Milking Parlor as well. As to the NH Bale thrower, if you made the bales tight, they stayed in shape, but we always stacked behind the thrower for more capacity on the wagons.👍👍 Great video!

5:29 good to see the "leaf-saving action" in the advertising copy. Compare these old roller basket style rakes to the new "tedders" and the tedder users don't seem to care about fragile dried leaves in how they fling the hay around (watch a few youtube videos). We had Case roller basket rakes back in the '70s. Baling machine throwers damage bales and mak them harder to stack in the barn. And quite a mess when the knotters don't tie! I learned all the cuss words around hay baler knotters. We either stacked on flat wagons or dropped bales in the field to pick up with a truck. If doing hay today I'd use a bale accumulator, even a simple one that groups three to six bales. More advanced ones group a dozen and then a loader grapple pick up s the whole group and stacks on a fifth wheel trailer.

My grandpa used to tell me stories about the 50's - 60's and 70's about the whole community having gatherings and helping each other, families making time to visit and getting along, as well as how church was always full. He talked about how everyone cared about each other in our community. He was a trouble maker and word would always reach his mom and dad at the farm before he got home from town about his trouble making. He talked about how when his dad had the stroke and was stuck in the hospital the community members took turns bringing food and helping with chores on the farm. I sometimes think about how I think I was born in the wrong time, because I would have fit in so much better then than I do now. thanks for sharing.

My grandfather had a Studebaker grain truck on his farm when he was a kid, I'd like to find one to fix up someday

Like old advertising magazines, Australia had similar with mail order coupons. Interesting Ford Australia had falcon ute that looks similar unfortunately my family had FC Holden ute great for fencing work or hauling bags of wheat especially from seconds box of MF combine. Like Ford Falcon ute the Holden had small six cylinder engine, brakes weren't great, no race car but got the job done. I would love IH truck, Australia did build similar versions, i still love driving our AA160 International truck with big straight six n in 80's our local fire truck with 308 V8 was NICE.

Detroit Diesel had a kit to convert the LA Case from gas to a diesel engine.

Young man I really enjoy your video. You're very knowledgeable for your age. And I think your just a little bit country? Ain't that right? Man I love that word that Ain't a word. Teachers would paddle our ass for saying Ain't 🙄

[@jefffirefighter12106]

I would like to know how much the bag of milk replacer cost back then? The replacer I get at the local TSC cost about $60.00 to $70.00 for the small bag.
