Biographical / Historical

John K. Parlett (1937-2005) was born in St. Mary's County, Maryland, and was a life-long resident of thecounty and state. He was a farmer and businessman and served as a St. Mary's County Commissionerfrom 1974-1978 and as a member of the Maryland House of Delegates from 1981-1986.

Parlett began collecting farm equipment and agriculture-related ephemera in the 1960s. His son, JohnK. Parlett, Jr., stated, "The more he collected the more his passion grew." Even though Parlett lived inMaryland, his collecting was national in scope and included materials he and his wife bought on collectingtrips around the country. Parlett expanded his collection of equipment and agricultural ephemera afterretiring in 1986. John K. Parlett, Jr., stated, "he [Parlett Sr.] caught 'the antique bug' . . . [they] went outalmost every weekend collecting more things." Parlett did not merely collect old machinery, he soughtand acquired catalogues, equipment operation manuals, posters, ephemera, county and state fairephemera, and even records from an agricultural equipment dealer, Custom Auto and Equipment Sales, inManassas, Virginia.

Between 1988 and 1993 the collection grew so large that Parlett built a 60,000 square foot building onhis farm to hold the machinery component. He converted many farm sheds, turkey and chicken housesinto display areas and a library. Parlett eventually founded the John K. Parlett Farm Life Museum ofSouthern Maryland located on his farm, known as Green Manor. Beginning in 1996, the museum wasopened annually for the Farm Life Festival, benefitting the St. Mary's County Christmas in April program,founded by Parlett. The collection was open by appointment for study; the local Amish communityconsulted some of the materials in the collection for help in repairing their outdated equipment. Parlettwas highly respected in collecting circles. He was a tenacious and indefatigable collector who made aneffort to collect all types of agricultural machinery as well as archival materials relating to farm life. Rareor obsolete items are included in this collection, as are ephemeral items relating to farm and ranch life."If it was used on the farm or in rural America in the last 100 years, chances are it'll be at the SouthernMaryland Farm Life Festival," enthused Agrifarm.com in 2008 when describing the Parlett holdings.

The last year for the Farm Life Festival was 2009. The Parlett Collection, consisting of 1007 lots ofmachinery, tools, tractors, household, and general store items, was auctioned by Aumann Auctions in thefall of 2011. At the auction, some materials and machinery were purchased by The Henry Ford Museum inDearborn, Michigan and other museums throughout the United States.

NMAH Curators Pete Daniel and Larry M. Jones surveyed the collection while Parlett was still alive. Joneswas credited with advising Parlett while he was building the collection. Jones commented on the collectionin 2005, "I was blown away by what he had put together; here was a man who turned an interest into one


Page 3 of 50

of the best rural farm life collections I've ever seen. And John has such an eye for good and appropriatestuff. It's just a sensational collection." He reportedly wrote a memo suggesting the Museum "investigatethe possibility" of acquiring portions of the collection if and when Parlett was willing to donate items. Therewas no further discussion of acquiring any of the collection until 2010, when Craig Orr, archivist-curator,talked with John K. Parlett Jr., who expressed a willingness to donate the archival materials as the entirecollection was being prepared for auction. Orr and Franklin A. Robinson, Jr., archives specialist, surveyedthe collection in early 2011 and selected the materials included in the collection.

Scope and Contents

The collection consists of farming and rural life ephemera, dating from about 1859-2011, and undated.The materials are national in scope and include agricultural ephemera from all regions of the UnitedStates. Since Parlett's collecting interest spanned the entire spectrum of agricultural work, the collectionis not livestock or crop specific. It covers many types of farming from dairying, beekeeping, poultry,cattle, sheep, and hogs to raising tobacco, small grains, hay and forage. It includes almanacs, operator'smanuals, catalogues, promotional materials, pocket ledgers and notebooks, mail order catalogs, state fairadvertising and catalogues, livestock care and feeding manuals, correspondence, receipts, guarantees,chemical and fertilizer handbooks, account books, "Ladies'" notebooks and calendars, directories, pricelists, corporate "yearbooks," clothing advertisements and catalogues, farming practices handbooks,agent's sales order books, seed guides, National Grange material, farming co-op by-laws and ephemera,agriculture related convention materials, poultry magazines and journals, beekeeping magazines, barnand housing design material, gardening manuals, sales contracts for machinery, appliance manuals,commodity marketing guides, auction catalogues, home canning and meat processing manuals andguides, price lists, pamphlets, sale brochures, and dealer service manuals.

The range and national scope of items in the collection illustrate the progression of invention withinagriculture. The machinery manuals not only describe machinery in detail, but break it down to themachinery components, how it is put together and how it is repaired. The invention aspect tracks thedevelopment of farm mechanization from hand work with intensive labor requirements to machinerydeveloped to decrease labor costs and numbers while at the same time increasing production. Thechanges in agricultural technology in the later years of the Industrial Revolution, on the cusp ofmechanization and the availability of mail order products for the home and farm, are documented in thecollection by advertisements and mail order catalogues, for products purchased in nearby towns andequipment used in farm tasks.

The sizeable mail order component of the collection provides research opportunities into economicsand marketing both to an agricultural community and an urban community. The demographic changesresulting from increased urbanization and employment opportunities in manufacturing -- and how smallfarms coped with them -- are documented in the collection by detailed descriptions of who was expectedto do what tasks and how those tasks were accomplished. With the beginning of mail order by AaronMontgomery Ward in 1872, mail order became an integral part of life in rural America. Mail order catalogsallowed rural residents to buy new equipment and follow the latest trends in fashion or householdappliances without ever leaving the farm. Mail order also allowed rural American to reap the benefits ofgrowing mass production. Homemade clothing gave way to ready-to-wear clothes sold through retailoutlets and through mail order catalogues. Likewise tools and machinery that had been locally built andmaintained gave way to parts and machinery that could be purchased through mail order as well as localequipment company dealers. Mail-order buying was made even more accessible in 1896 with the firstrural free delivery (RFD) service.

Gender and ethnic aspects of farm life are documented in the collection. For example, sausage, lard,pudding making and similar tasks were traditionally done by women; labor was often divided along racialor ethnic lines and used different machinery and tools for various types of farms in different locations. The


Page 4 of 50

collection has a sizeable component of community materials related to farm life such as county and statefair catalogues, National Grange materials, and instructional booklets given away by feed and machinerymanufacturers. "How to" booklets and pamphlets covering virtually every aspect of the farm and farm worktargeted members of the farm family and its labor force.

The collection complements the Smithsonian's invention holdings as innovation was taking place on thefarm as well as in the factory throughout the Industrial Revolution. The machinery manuals with theiroperation and repair guidelines, the schematic drawings and details on "new and improved" machineryprovide a cohesive span of primary material to inform the evolution of farm work from hand and physicallabor involving many people to the more mechanized farming capable of being done by one farmer aloneor with minimal family or hired help.

The collection includes the business records (1971-1981, undated) for Custom Auto and Equipment Salesof Manassas, Virginia, a John Deere dealership. These records include equipment inventories, a JohnDeere Consumer Products Dealer Parts Administration Manual, JD Dart operators manual, and a SperryNew Holland dealer sales aid manual, sales accounts, all of which help document the transition frommanual based accounting systems to product specific (in this case JD Dart for John Deere) computerbased systems. This portion of the collection is illustrative of suburbanization. With the farm crisis of theearly 1980s, Custom Auto and Equipment ceased selling farm machinery and concentrated on the urbanaspect of the John Deere brand: lawnmowers, tillers and those pieces of machinery used in housingdevelopments being built in and around Manassas. The market for farming equipment nearly ceased toexist and in an effort to salvage their business they adapted to the environment around them.

This collection also includes sales materials for Todd Equipment Company located in Chesapeake,Virginia with a branch office in Hagerstown, Maryland. Todd serves farm equipment dealers in the statesof Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, and WestVirginia. They carry an extensive line of machinery catering to all types of agricultural cultivation, care, andharvesting. As of 2015 they are still in business.
