[Farmall] IH accounting anyone?

[E. John Puckett]

In late 1972 or early 73 I bought a small calculator similar to that one 
for my wife to figure grades with, gave $100 for it dealers cost.  They 
called them computers then.  LOL  a year and a half later I could buy a 
better one for a fourth of what I paid.  I still have that calculator 
though, and it still works.
