Hart Parr plant expansion tied to Charles City housing plan
Hart Parr tractor plant in Charles City Iowa plans to add about a thousand workers and $2 million in annual payroll, contingent on the town supplying 300 more houses and eight to ten apartments. The expansion follows a merger into Oliver Farm Implement company and could begin by end of 1930, with further growth in 1931. If housing cannot be provided, expansion may move to South Bend Indiana where Oliver’s existing flow works are located.
