These two 'wide front' (as opposed to the narrow 'tricycle front' type) tractors are part of a vanishing legacy. Due to mergers, bankruptcies and "Getting back to our core businesses," neither of these companies makes tractors for the small farm consumer. Oliver vanished in the 1970s and Allis Chalmers now supports oilfield operations.
James Oliver began casting chilled iron plows in the 1860s, shortly after the American Civil War. Early in the 20th Century, Oliver began to make plows for Henry Ford's tractors, but as Ford concentrated more on automobile production, Oliver's son John ('J.D.') merged his company with four other agricultural tool manufacturers, notably the Hart-Parr Tractor Works. In 1962, the White Motor Corporation (a separate company that evolved out of R.H. White's invention of a steam 'car') purchased the Oliver Farm Equipment Company. In 1976, Oliver Tractors ceased existence as a separate entity and even White no longer markets farm tractors.
The Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Co. of West Allis, WI built their Model B from 1938 to 1957. Designed by Clifford Brooks Stevens, who also designed one of the Studebaker Hawk models, later Harley-Davidson motorcycles and Oscar Mayer's Wienermobile.

Date: 80 BC
Current location: Pompeii (Extinct city)
Description of work: Pompeii was founded in the 8C BC by the Oscans. In the 6C BC the Etruscans and the Greeks struggled for dominance in the area. Pompeii was not strong enough to stand alone and so allied herself commercially and politically with the Greeks who were based in the nearby colony of Curnae. At the end of the 5C BC Pompeii came under Samnite rule when they drove out both the Etruscans and the Greeks. For a long period following this Pompeii was a prosperous town where both commerce and art and architecture flourished. In 80 BC the town fell under the rule of the Roman Empire. It soon became a favorite resort for wealthy Romans. Eventually Roman families settled and with them came the Roman administration, lifestyle, decoration and building methods. In 62 AD Pompeii experienced a major earthquake which resulted in heavy damage. The town was rapidly reconstructed and restored. The people and the administration used the damage as motivation to enrich their town with abundant architectural and artistic projects in the recent fashionable style (see painting styles). By 79 AD Pompeii was a bustling city of commerce, trade and industry. It boasted a population of about 25, 000. Impressive amphitheaters had been built to cater to the population?s taste for sports and theatrical spectacles. Luxurious houses and temples defined the city center. It was just after mid-day on August 24 AD79 that Mount Vesuvius suddenly erupted. With little warning ash, pumice and sulfur rained down, quickly burying the town to the level of about 20 feet (5 meters). Thousands of people were engulfed with little or no chance for escape. Buried almost entirely in ash, most traces of the location of the town were obliterates and over time it?s whereabouts were forgotten It was only in the 17th Century that it was rediscovered. Scientific excavations were begun in 1748 under Charles of Bourbon. Although the great eruption was without doubt a tragic event, historians have gained much knowledge due to it. A large part of what we know about the daily life of ancient Romans is attributable to the excavations at Pompeii. The layer of ash preserved the buildings, complete with artwork and even graffiti still on the walls. Statuary is still largely intact and the famous Roman roads are still paved. Pompeii was frozen in time and presents us with a comprehensive picture of the way of life in a fashionable town at the height of the Roman Empire.

I hadn't thought of 'plant zoos' before. This species of cacti is not present in the wild and apparently cannot be reintroduced.
Shiels' 1842 painting of a Glamorgan cow, a breed that is now extinct. The breed is shown as having black "points" as well as white body markings.
This card is number two in a a series of extinct animal cards. It is printed with black water based speedball ink from a hand carved linoleum block. It is of the Steller's Sea Cow (Hydrodamalis gigas). It was a 3 ton manatee like animal that in prehistoric times lived along the North Pacific coast. It was first seen by Europeans when the Russian explorer Vitus Bering's ship was shipwreaked on the Commander Islands in 1741. The crew found the animals quite tasty and easy to catch and by 1768 it was extinct.
Another view of the extinct Trou Aux Cerfs volcano crater in Curepipe. The tarred road that leads to the top later continues all round the crater. There are intermittent viewing points and benches along the circumference. There is also a radar station for monitoring cyclones. (which we did not notice however). (Mauritius, Mar. 2005) (Loss of colour and quality due to scan from print: photo was taken on 35mm film).

Common Oʻahu moa nalo
Endemic to the Hawaiian Islands; Extinct
Moa nalo were flightless goose-like ducks. At least four species, were known to exist: Tortoise-jaw moa nalo (Chelychelynechen quassus), Clumsy moa nalo (Ptaiochen pau), Maui Nui moa nalo (Thambetochen chauliodus), and Common Oʻahu moa nalo (T. xanion)--all now extinct.
These specimens came from the Barbers Point sinkholes, Oʻahu, Hawaiian Islands. Identified by the late Alan C. Ziegler in 1992.
The Anatini Whale Fossil Site is on private property but the owner allows visitation as part of the Vanished World Trail. On our visit, we met the owner. He took an hour out of his busy schedule and talked to us. We learned so much from him about the area. I can't find out much about the fossils except they are from an extinct baline whale.
