Ever wonder what was located at Harmon Field before football?

It was a sucker and rod factory; in 1884 it shipped 40,000 sucker rods and 200,000 forks and hoe handles

Note: The Icon acquired a manuscript titled “A Brief History of Bluffton’s Industrial Developments.” This publication was prepared by the classes in Marketing and Small Business Administration from Bluffton College, under the director of Dr. Howard Raid.
