History

In 1891, Massey Manufacturing merged with A. Harris, Son & Co. Ltd to become Massey-Harris Limited[2][4] and became the largest agricultural equipment maker in the British Empire. Massey-Harris made threshing machines and reapers as well as safety bicycles, introducing a shaft-driven model in 1898.[5] In 1910 it acquired the Johnston Harvester Company in Batavia, New York, making it one of Canada's first multinational firms.
