FRIDAY OCTOBER 11 1946 I drove to Dubuque this morning taking Ralph Lourie and Frank Silloway with me. Reached [Letterhead: Hotel Julien] And at the hotel at 1130 met John Deere men there. After lunch we all went to the John Deere Dubuque Tractor Co where the cornerstone of the office was laid by Charley Wiman. Then a full afternoon in the firld with M tractor and 25 integral tools. Charley Wiman told me ther were only 2 tractors he was crazy about the MX (diesel) and the 101. He also said he was going to try to get Lindeman to come to Moline as my assistant and gradually work into my place. He said in this way I could spend all summer in Princeton. About 150 for dinner, Charley Wiman made a fine talk. He cautioned about a depression which may come and asked everyone to be prepared.
