Issue # 18: Oliver World Congress 1959
In 1959, Oliver International (The Export Division) stepped outside the box and planned a showing of Oliver equipment to be matched by none. For years I have heard about the Oliver World Congress but since it was only held one time, information seemed to be minimal. However, I happened to find the two men that are credited for putting that show together and recently visited with them to get the story right from the source.

Issues # 17: Oliver Pipe-Plows
Oliver introduced their 4440 in 1955 as a “masterpiece in plow design.” This pull-type plow used a new pipe frame. With the growing horsepower ratings of tractors, the equipment had to experience that same growth. The need to stretch out a plow to 5 or 6 bottoms was easily accomplished with this style of plow.

Issues # 17: The Andersons and Their Olivers
Written by: Carl L. Anderson
In 1956, when my Grandmother sold the family farm to my father Ivan Lee Andersen, I was two-years-old. It was not a big farm by any means, just 80 acres. At its peak we had 40-50 head of beef cattle that we had custom butchered for people. We also had 700 laying chickens and a door-to-door egg route in two local towns and 20-30 head of hogs at any given time. Add to that a very large, productive garden, and we were very well fed!
