[AT] Tractor Restoration On Front Page Of Wall Street Journal

[Larry D Goss]

Chuck, the USPS already has a method for making your own custom postage 
stamps on-line.  I haven't used it myself, but I got a Christmas card from a 
fellow collector in New York that has his restored Economy tractor printed 
on a 39-cent stamp.  So, go do it!

Subject: [AT] Tractor Restoration On Front Page Of Wall Street Journal


Folks,

As the New York Times did several years ago, the Wall Street Journal
has finally acknowledged the world of tractor restoration. But this time we 
got
front page coverage. In the Jan 3, 2007 edition of the WSJ, there is a nice 
article
about Mr. Kristin Gall, a farmer from Ethel, Mo., who searched out and 
restored
his grandfather's Farmall 1206. It even has before and after photos of the
restoration and mentions a separate JD tractor resurrection and the Red 
Power
Roundup. In case you subscribe to the WSJ online, it can be found at

There is also a '57 picture of three Gall gents astride their new Farmall 
450, and
the photo looked familiar. Perhaps I have seen it in a old Red Power or 
Antique
Tractor issue.

Now that Wall Street is on to us, it seems time to get the USPO to do a 
Classic
American Tractors sheet of stamps. They recently did a nice one on US 
motorcycles,
and they only have half the wheels and history. Do any of you know where to 
get such
a campaign started?
