"Uncle Joe" is a film that was made by John Deere for county fairs and exhibitions.

 

from the Inwood Herald - Feb 5, 1942:

 

CROWDS COME TO

SEE "UNCLE JOE"

JOHN DEERE DAY

   Inwood Main street from end to end

of the business district and on the cross

streets were filled with farmer's aut-

omobiles Monday afternoon and their

owners were enjoying the hospitality

of Brown & Son at Jacobsen Hall at

the John Deere Day showing of "Uncle

Joe."

   Other films of an interesting and ed-

ucational nature were shown also.  It

was a very satisfactory crowd that at-

tended the annual John Deere Day

and those in attendance felt it well

worth their time to accept the offered

hospitality of the firm who have been

local representatives for this large

manufacture of arm machinery and

implements.
