It's getting closer.....only 20 days left until the first issue of Heritage Iron goes in the mail. The magazine is complete and it goes to the printer next week. We printed off the proof on Friday and it looks great! I can't wait until every else gets to take a look at it. If you're wondering what's inside, here are a few of the topics: IH 1206, White Mighty-Tow 4-115, JD Buyer's Guides, Ertel toys of 1970, Rome 4WDs, M&W Gear and much more. I know I might be a little biased but I think it's a great issue with a bit of something for everyone.
No sooner did I have the proof in my hands when I decided to get out of the office for a few days and hit the National Farm Toy Show in Dyersville, IA. I had never been to this show before. It seems like every year I have something else to do but this year I was going to make time. So I threw some clothes in the car and headed north.
If you have never been to the toy show, you should make plans to go sometime and experience it at least once. I have never seen so many toys in one place in my life! The entire town gets ready for this event. The Beckmann school cleans out all of their classrooms, covers the gym floor with protective paper and then turns the entire school over to the toy vendors. There were hundreds of them! And when there wasn't room left inside, there were tents and trailers set up outside everywhere. It didn't seem to matter to anyone that it was below freezing. It was unbelievable!
Unfortunately my little office vacation was short-lived. It's back to work getting the next issue of Oliver Heritage off to the press too. My work is never done....but oh what fun.

I just sent you an AD for the first issue of your magazine, it appears that I may have sent it too late to get it into the first issue. It will look nice in the next issue then. I am anxious to get the magazine as I love those "muscle tractors".
Wally,
Let me introduce myself...Debbie Schaefer Sebastian. Yes, the middle name should be a hint of who I am. I am Sherry's YOUNGER sister. I will be handling the advertising for Heritage Iron. Sherry is going to be very busy writing stories which is what she does best.
Unforunately your ad was to late for the first issue. The 1st issue of HERITAGE IRON has all ready went to pre-press and HERITAGE IRON looks awesome.
You and I need to get together to discuss advertising in the next issue. The issue will be coming out right before the National Farm Machinery Show and will be on display there for 300,000 hat wearers to see.
I can be reached at Debbie@DynoDeb.com or
859 936-3420. I look forward to working with you.
I agree with your assessment that the National Toy Show is awsome. We got to go in 1987 and had a great time despite the lack of heat in the camper.
