A man in a fedora clasps hands with a produce vendor at a roadside stand, a small moment of commerce that stands in for the many daily exchanges that kept rural and small-town markets running. Markets like this one were a fixture of farm life, where growers sold seasonal crops directly to neighbors and passing travelers, and a handshake often sealed a deal that rested on trust more than paperwork. The hat and the rolled-sleeve ease of the vendor are worth a closer look, since they reflect the dress and everyday manners of the period. Pictures of ordinary transactions like this one give a quiet record of how people bought, sold and dealt with one another.
