The Amish are folk who want to live in the way they have lived for many years. That is to live apart from modern necessities and modern ways, and to adhere to the way of life that has kept them going. They do have to use some modern conveyances, in order to find work for their carpenters, etc. and they do use the telephone, in an emergency, but just not for idle chatting. They do not drive cars or trucks, etc. I have seen them use single cylinder diesel engines, to power large meat grinders, but on an "Outlander farm." So, here come the shysters, with their sucker bait, and since most folks think the moon is made of green cheese, and that you can get heat without burning something, or living over a volcanic thermal vent, those folks are the perfect customers to sell the Amish Heater to! The first ads made it appear that all you had to do was push the heater around from room to room, and just set it there and it would blow out the heat!! The ads never showed the power cord that you had to plug into the wall socket. The ad also made it sound like the Amish used those "heaters" to warm their homes, because, ostensibly, they didn't use any electricity to run them: vis. an Amish home with one of the "heaters", no electric hookup--must work--and the astoundingly stupid amongst us bought them in droves! So now, in order to avoid any legals trying to sue them, they now show the electric heating mechanism in their ads! And, they now say that the Amish only build the cabinets, and pretend to show Amish folks busily working in a shop, doing just that. So, look at those pictures; How many so-called "Amish" folks do you think you see in the photo??? Well, anybody whose face shows in that picture isn't Amish. Those folks are shills, for the company that makes the heaters. True Amish do not allow their faces to be photographed, nor printed in any advertising. The big guy in the front-naww--he's just some guy with a beard and twinkling eyes--a shill is what he is called in the "sucker born every minute" shell-game! As a young lad, my Dad would take me to the country carnival that came to our area once a year. Those carnie folks went away with lots of hard-earned cash, as spent by the locals, who, back then, 1930's, didn't have a lot of money. There was one guy who sold a miracle cure for gasoline engines! He had a big old roadster, with a long hood and fender, and very shiney. He sold a plug in thing that would make very rough running engine smooth out after he plugged it into the distributor cap! I think the price was $2.50! He'd have the engine coughing and snapping and about to stall, then he'd pull out the coil wire, plug in his miracle coil, and the original wire, and that car would run very well!! Of course, very few saw the board he had his foot on, and he'd step on it after installing the magic coil! We stood back and watched him until we got it figgered out. Good old P.T.

Today's Featured Article - Seeing an Old Friend - by Joe Evans. Dad had a concrete contracting business starting in 1960. One of his first pieces of equipment was a Ferguson TO-35 with a Davis loader. Dad replaced the TO-35 with a MF 202 Workbull, essentially an industrialized Ferguson 35 I am told. Dad bought the 202 new in 1962, and I recall quite clearly going to the dealer with him to sign for it.
