A scarlet Farmall Model M tractor — one of the most iconic machines in American agricultural history, introduced by International Harvester in 1939 — pulls a grain harvester through a rippling sea of mature wheat or oats on this richly colored linen postcard captioned "Harvesting Time — The Golden Time / 'As Ye Sow, So Shall Ye Reap'"; the biblical quotation and the warm golden-green palette speak directly to the agrarian pride of Midwestern buyers who would have found this card in a farm-supply store or county-fair rack in the early 1940s. The Farmall M's distinctive red hood and high-clearance front axle are clearly legible in the detail crop, making this a double-interest card for both postcard collectors and tractor/IH memorabilia enthusiasts. E. C. Kropp of Milwaukee was one of the premier linen postcard printers of the era, known for saturated color and fine halftone dot work. The card is unused with a penciled 3 on the back, likely a dealer's lot mark.
