    Lehman's Non-Electric Good Neighbor Heritage Catalog ($2.00)

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

    "Merchandise reflecting an undying culture, a reverence for
    tradition, and sensible ways to meet today's needs.

	Kitchen & Housewares		A Variety of the Hard-to-Find
	Stoves for Heating & Cooking	Non-Electric Appliances
	Farming and Homesteading	Woodworking & Logsmithing"

    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
    engine?
