Russell & Company

Russell was a well-known steam engine and tractor builder. As did many other companies, they issued supply catalogs from their branch warehouses on an annual basis. The 1924 catalog from their Peoria, Illinois branch pictures an engine, with the suggestion that they would be happy to provide further information on request.
