Reeves began building threshers in 1874 and incorporated in 1888. In 1884, Reeves acquired Ritchie & Dyer Co., builder of steam traction engines. Reeves were especially adopted for service in the colder climate of Canada, with a full jacket on the boiler and dome helping to retain heat. The Reeves plant was closed by Emerson-Brantingham in 1925, but a few years later, a local banker seeking to preserve the skilled labor force of Columbus, Ind., financed a group of men to reopen the plant and re-work Sears Roebuck gas engines, an enterprise that eventually became The Cummins Engine Co.  

The Catalog we have reproduced includes profile photos or drawings of Reeves traction engines, a cut-away view of a Reeves double cylinder engine; a view of the Reeves reverse and expansion gear; a Special Straw Burner Boiler; the Reeves Friction Power Guide; Reeves Compound Separators; Reeves Wind Stacker; Band Cutter and Feeder; Hart-Brown Feeder Wing Carrier; Reeves Clover Huller; Cylinder Corn Sheller; Steel Baling Press; Flexible-Frame Hand-Lift Gang Plow; and Reeves Saw Mills.
