In the 80's, when Holt first offered grain growers a cheaper, better, quicker method of harvesting grain that was the first notable achievement.

Successful from the start, the Models 30 and 32 were further developed and refined each year, to the point that has now been reached, where these machines will - give maximum service with minimum care and operating and upkeep cost. Now comes the perfection of the organiza tion behind the product. , Western Harvester Co. will concentrate . its energies, organization and manufactur ing facilities on the production of " Holt" Combined Harvesters the steel Models 30 and 32.
