In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the Oliver Chilled Plow Works was one of the country's major plow producers. The company was out of South Bend, Indiana. The company moved into manufacturing farm machinery, and Chicago became its headquarters. In 1929, the company merged with four other farm machine companies to form Oliver Farm Equipment Company. Oliver lost its corporate identity during a period of industry-wide mergers and consolidation-when purchased by White Motor Corporation in 1960.
