Aurand, [1938]\nIn Haste.\u2014Amish woman on a cold day going to a public \"vendue,\" one of their delights and a way to save money.\nWilling Little Helpers.\u2014Twins help mother carry a purchase of plates and some odds houle from a public sale.\nNonchalance.\u2014Three trusting youngsters waiting\u2014until the canera snaps\u2014and they are off in a great big flash.\nContemplation.\u2014An Amish woman has purchased an ironing-board at a sale, and now says to herself: \"Is it o. k?\"\nTHE CANDID CAMERA GOES INTO ACTION IN LANCASTER COUNTY\n(All photos by Chas. S. Rice, except one above, by Kepler)\nContrast.\u2014An Amishman and helpmate on a wagon with modern springs, passing a school building in Belleville. Education in the higher grades is op-posed by them as unnecessary and tending toward worldliness. ()\nBonnets and Shawls.\u2014The Amish, too, have time for conversation. Note the bonnets, and initials low on shawl, left. (Upper row, center)\nSatisfaction.\u2014Here we see the contented expression of a successful bidder at a public sale. Possibly the woman in the foreground did the bidding for the one to the left, while the one in the center says: \"Oh!\" (Upper right)\nAll Together . . .

(Lower row, center)\nTransportation\u2014Nearly every \"Old Order\" Amishman has a buggy as the highest type of transportation with which to get to town. Patterned so alike, it remains for the Amish to say: \"We know \u2019em!\" (Lower right)\nFather and Son.\u2014Amishman with store suspenders and \"broadfall\" pants (no fly) . . . and a bewildered-looking boy.\nCuriosity.\u2014The child on the left just \"wants to see\" . . . while the one in the center \"listens in\" on the conversation.\nReligion . . . is the topic of this pair, as when most Amish gather. Child, in center, and man at right, eat ice cream.\nPlanning.\u2014\"I got the stuff at my own price, now I wonder how I'll ever get it 'to home' without a neighbor's help.\"","title":"The Amish: Illustrations","type":"page"}
