Ford is to automobile what Best is to tractors. Making Tracks: C.L. Best and the Caterpillar Tractor Co. is a complete picture of Clarence Leo Best and why he was driven to live up to his name Best. Read about the little-kwn history of the name behind the success of the historical California company, the Caterpillar Tractor Co.

To complete the profile of the man as well as the entrepreneur,
