    If it doesn't run on electricity, it's in there somewhere

    They claim to cater to the Amish (hence the non-electric
    appliances).  The catalog *is* neat, and they have some interested
    stuff, but it tends to be pricey.  Where else are you going to
    find a wringer clothes washer with a 3 H.P. Briggs & Stratton
