Title- "Ford Model T carting hay "

Comment- "Reverse of image reads: Ford T sold by S&P 19 pounds, carting hay."
-------------------------------------
The 'S&P' mentioned is Sewell and Pool, Motor Dealers. It seems that they moved from brand to brand and included at various times, Gray, Oakland, Hupmobile and others. I am not sure if they were Ford dealers at any time.

They kind of look like grain shocks on the way to the thresher...

I think that you are correct, Joseph, but in this part of the world they are called sheaves, being the plural of sheaf, and not to be confused with the sheave that is part of a pulley system.

I think they also used to call them bundles...my dad remembered pitching bundles into the thresher.

Whatever it's called, I think it's a great pic...first time I saw a roadster (or touring?)being used for a hay wagon...grin...
