dc.description	This picture postcard supplied by James E. Gordon and published in the Enquirer and News on April 7, 1979, captures the manufacturing plant of the Advance-Rumely Corp. on South Kendall Street in 1911. In that year, the M. Rumely Co. of LaPorte, Ind., manufacturers of kerosene-burning tractors used to supply power for threshing machines, bought the Advance Thresher Co. here, where the operations were merged. Advance threshing machines were manufactured in Battle Creek by what originally was the Case & Willard Threshing Co., organized in 1891. The plant turned out thousands of grain threshers and tractors before going out of business in 1938. (Note: The postcard publisher misidentified the company as "Rumley Thresher Co.")	en_US
