Origin:
The origin of this nickname spawns from the ingenuity of the International Harvester Companys owner Cyrus H. [McCormick] (inventor of [the reaper]). It was well-known in farming, that if something was helped to lessen the work on humans, animals machinery, while getting the job done quickly and correctly, International built it. The love for something being built right, dependable and most importantly durable, was carried on to the truck industry and later to heavy machinery and big trucks today.
