OLEANINOS as AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM. 



My advertisement of Dec. 15, 1884, brought me 

 between 15 and 20 answers. I am not experienced 

 in the advertising business, but I thought that 

 pretty good. Fred F. Kol. 



Jordan, Ind., March 24, 1885. 



1 am going to have more work than I can stand. 

 and I may as well set up some of the brakes now. 

 Gleanings is a little too good sometimes, as an ad- 

 vertising medium. E. M. Hayhuhst.

OUR 75-CENT TELEPHONES, 



To Tell If hen the Jiees are Snfirnihiff. 



This instrument is a success, as many of tlic 

 friends have testified. I'rices by mail are Ifi cent.>i 

 extra. Each instrument consists of two sounders, 

 with 100 feet of insulated wire, etc. If you want 

 more wire, we ha\-e it put ii|) on spools of 100, 200, 

 and m) feet eaeli. Prices Hi, :!(!, and 45 cts. j.ei- 

 spool. It wanted li\- mail, postau-e on the spools is 

 5, h.and 11 cents respect i\-ely. The liOd-jnot spool, in 

 addition to the Km Icet that goes with ( \ cry instru- 

 ment, is probably as great a length as is advisable 

 with these cheap instrunienls. This wire is mad<' 

 of comiiositioM especially adapted to these small 

 tele|)liones. A suigle wire running thi'ough your 

 apiary will tell aii.\ li(iil\- in the room where the 

 sdinuleis ai-e, al enee when the b<>es are swarming. 

 If the house is st ill, it could easily be hearil in the 

 adjoining looni. 'I'lie insti-umcnts are probably- 

 (^qual to any in the niarUet, for such short distances, 

 for a speaking telei)lioiie. I!ul. please icnienil)er 

 they are not practicable for much over t he 4ii(i teet 

 mentioned. When excry thing is nn/ still, iw thv 

 night foi- instanci', the\' can be useil lor conversa- 

 tian as much as a (piaiter of a mile awa.w Vou can 

 turn corners with thetn, if you wish, but some of 

 the sound is lost at every turn.
