No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Several pieces of correspondence initiated by Tractor Training School, 406 Panama Building, Portland 4, Oregon with Howard E. Olson, 520 7th St and 215 6th St, Bremerton, WA. This trove of ephemera includes the following: Letter dated October 7, 1947 explaining the correspondence course offered by Tractor Training Service; letter dated October 7, 1947 from the Credit Department with a coupon payment book; letters from the Instruction Department dated October 9, 1947 reporting on Howard's examination; letter from J.E. Bradley, President, Tractor Training Service, which includes a gold and blue metal Tractor Training Service LAPEL PIN; letter postmarked October 28, 1947 with receipts for payment for Howard's first lesson ($157.75); a couple of letters containing "T&E News" published by the Tractor Training Service; and the like. The price listed below is for the lot. "Tractor Training Service, an Oregon corporation with headquarters in Portland, and Tractor Training Service, Inc., an Illinois corporation with Chicago headquarters, were owned and controlled by Mr. Joy E. Badley. "The Commission found that petitioners are now and have for more than three years last past engaged in the sale and distribution of a course of study and instruction consisting of forty-six lessons on the subject of diesel engines and tractor equipment . The course consists entirely of home study assignments. There is no laboratory training provided. The price for the course is $275, less certain discounts. In 1951 more than 2200 students were enrolled." [from front matter of a court case filed against Tractor Training Service] In another case, Tractor Training Service was sued for false and misleading advertising. Quite an interesting collection of materials related to this correspondence course.
