The same advantages that brought the former industry to Chicago caused the latter also to be established upon the western Lake Michigan shore. In the spring of 1842 Jerome I. Case procured six threshing machines upon credit in the East and brought them to Wisconsin. The growing of wheat and oats had already become a leading industry in the West, and the use of the thresher was indispensable to its fullest develop- ment. Landing at Racine, Wisconsin, then a mere village, Mr. Case disposed of all... his machines except one, and with that he pro- ceeded through the country threshing grain and making improve- ments upon the machine. In the winter of 1843-4 he succeeded in making a thresher and separator combined after a model of his own invention, made by him in a kitchen of a farm-house at Roches- ter, Wisconsin. This is said to be the first machine used in the West which threshed and cleaned the grain at the same time. In the fall of 1844 Mr. Case began the regular manufacture of his ma- chine at Racine in a rented shop and built a limited number.
