Captions read from the top: "Bunner's borderland men take immense pride in learning new technologies; here the male members of a dinner party have adjourned to the cellar to study furnace problems."

"Later nineteenth-century borderers learned to borrow and loan- for most families needed a diversity of gadgets to finish houses, make gardens, and create lawns, and most, after buying real estate, had very little free cash."

"Along with so many other nineteenth-century observers of borderland life, Bunner scrutinized the social dynamics of the commuter platform, noting almost unthinkingly how frequently shopping-bound wives accompanied husbands aboard the local."
