Caterpillar Diesel Grand Canyon of Mesabi Ad 1946 This is an April 27, 1946 advertisement. It is a nice color ad from Caterpillar Tractor Co of Peoria, Illinois. Ad reads, Steel starts in the iron ribbed hills of Minnesota. A great part of that ore comes from the open pit mines of the Mesobi Iron range man made canyons, miles across and a half a mile deep. When you descend to the floor you find Caterpillar Diesel Tractors and Motor graders bulldozing ore to the shovels and maintaining the winding haul roads from the pit. Pictures included in ad of the open pit. In excellent condition. Photo is taken through plastic and may show wrinkles or crookedness that is not in the ad. This original magazine tear sheet measures 10 1/2 inches wide by 13 1/2 inches wide.
