I was given this book by the CEO of Cummins. The book was part of a reward, to me, for some improvements I suggested for the Caps fuel system. Thankfully CAPS has been replaced with Common Rail.
https://www.amazon.com/Engine-That-Coul ... 0875846130 I have read the book several times and I will read it again. The book is an easy read and documents the relationship between Cummins and Sears. This book also tell the story of Clessie Lyle Cummins installing one of his Cummins engines in a car and driving it from Columbus to New York.
I do not remember if these Cummins Engines were offered in Sears Canada. I will try to find out.

The Allstate or Henry J was sold in Canada. One of my mother's sisters drove a Henry J/ Allstate.
My Mother's family immigrated to Canada in about 1920. The car they came to Canada in was a 1920 Willys Overland Knight. Their trip 1200 mile trip from Hardy, Nebraska to Southern Alberta took 18 days. Google, 2019, suggests that drive is now 18 hours on paved Interstate. Their trip to Southern Alberta was for free homestead land.
Interesting side note, My grandfather was friends with Petersen in De Witt, NE.
My cousin lives in a Sears Catalogue modular house. She lives near Red Dear, Alberta. I have been in her house/home several times. It is a very stylish two story. The house is on her grain farm.
