GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Apr. 1. 



Lnst year we commenced an elaborate plan of advertising, 

 liut btf.iie wo were lialf through, OIK AUVERTISEJIKNTS 

 DISAPPEAiiKU. Why? Because WE WERE OVERWHELM EU 

 UITII ItCSINESS. There was hut one thing to do: withdraw 



the advertisrng and devote every energy to filling the orders 

 wilh which we were flooded. Tiii- wi- dhl, nnd handlr.l with 

 reasonahle promptness a most im j.i rcrilrnli-.l v it ^ iHivni.-s^.

 TKIBITE OIR GOODS, WE CAN NOW CARE KOR ALL WHO 

 CO.IIE, Last year we could not reduce prices Iiecause we were 

 compelled in some way to limit the demand for Aermotoi- goods. 

 We would have been satisfied with low er prices, hut why create 

 a demand which we could not supply? We have made the 

 heaviest purchases of steel and material bought in Amei ica this 

 year, and at unprecedented prices, and have niade terms to 

 dealers which enable them to make unprecedented prices. 



In quality, character, variety, finish, and accessibility to 

 full stock of goods and repairs, we are without competitors. 

 In our plan of advertising last year, we proposed to furnish a 

 feed cutter under cert;i in conditions for $15. For reasons stated 

 above we did not comi-lete the advertising, and the feed cut- 

 ter \ AS not put out. We now propose to make amends in 

 the fi, lowing manner: AVewill aiinounoe in this paper our

 These concerns are wise, for, even though they may not

 neighbors who may need something in our line, and thereby do 

 them a good turn. The Aermotor Co. is one of the most success- 

 ful business enterprises which has been launched in recent 

 times. In succeeding advertisements will be discussed and made 

 clear the lines on which that success has been worked out. It 

 was done by a farmer's boy. A careful following of these ad- 

 vertisements mav suggest to some other farmer's hoy a career.

FACTS FROM THE FACTORY. 



The Page is the only elastic fence made, 

 and requires special wire. Oi^r contracts for 

 the manufacture of this wire cover many 

 thousands of tons, all puarrnteed to sv.it 

 the purpose. The Superin(i>r dents of the lar- 

 gest mills in the country liave spent d.'iys at 

 our factory studying our pa-licular needs. 

 "This wire co.sts more than the common article, 

 which could not be used if furnished free. 

 Our complete fence costs the fiirmer less than 

 /lecan buy the wireofwhi-h it is made and 

 IS the cheapest in the end.
