DEERE PUBLISHES CHILDREN'S BOOK
"Johnny Tractor and His Pals," a
children's storybook published 30 years
ago by Deere & Company, is being
published again in a deluxe edition.
When originally published in 1958,
the book was so popular that John Deere
farm equipment dealers distributed
more than 300,000 copies.
Today, the original 7 x 8 -inch books
are considered collector's items. "We
decided to publish "Johnny Tractor"
again because of letters received from
customer's," says Ralph Hughes,
Deere's director of advertising. "Even
after 30 years, we received a dozen let-
ters last year. The letters used to come
from mothers and fathers who read the
book as children. Now the letters are
from grandparents."
The new edition is 8 1/2 x 11 inches
in size. "We didn't want to destroy the
collectors' market, so we changed the
size and printed the new book on higher
quality paper and with a nicer cover,"
Hughes says.
"Johnny Tractor and His Pals" will
be available from John Deere dealers at
a suggested retail price of $4.25.0
