History and legacy
This entry concerns the historic Turner-Simplicity agricultural tractor badge. The archive describes the 1915 entry into tractor manufacturing and the 1920 bankruptcy. The shared Simplicity name alone is not sufficient evidence to identify this business with every later company that sold lawn-and-garden equipment under a similar name.
