A KIND AVOKD AVITH A MOUAL TO IT. 



I received the duplicate packajre of bees on the 

 I3th inst.. all in fine condition. They are now do- 

 ing: their level iiesf, eleaninfr house and eairyinpr in 

 pollen. I wish you could know with wliat satisfac- 

 tion I received them — not tor tlic \ahic of tlic liees, 

 but for the pleasure it •ri\(s me to have another 

 name to add to my list of business men who think 

 more ot tlicii- woid than of their pocket; for I be- 

 li«'\-e if I'ro\idi'iiee lias any special favors to bestow 

 it will be for ttie man who reyrards his word. 

 Thanks, friend Root. W. H. Peltox.

THE W.\Y PKOMPTNESS IN BUSINESS WINS (US- 

 TOMEKS AND KIND WOKDS. 



The woods ordered by wire came all ris:ht in three 

 days to my home, seven miles from the depot. I 

 really did not know of li\jn<r in such a fast ag:e. 1 

 am deeply in lo\c with you and all your clerks, the 

 I)ackers and shipjiers itieluded, for your perfect 

 business way of doing things. I want your corres- 

 pondinj? clerk to know I hig-hlv esteem her punc- 

 tual, carefully written, and (^hristianly dictated 

 letters. I do not wonder at your success. Its per- 

 feeily natural. .1. r>. Cai.dwki.i..

We did a little advertising with you one year aj^o, 

 and have had a larjre order this sprinar. 

 Fabius, N. Y., .June 1, 188.5. Kx.vi'P Buos. 



In consequence of advcrtisintf in Gi.KA.vi.vns, 

 we are recei\Mn^- "many moi-e " orders for 

 • lueens than we expected, and, in fact, moi-r' than 

 we had <|ueens to till them with: l)Ut will lie in ^--ood 

 shipc in;tortdays. Will .\<.ii be yood enough to 

 sus-fest to readei-s (d' (; i.i; \.\ i \(;s to bi' sure to wi'ite 

 their name and address vcrv i)liiin when orderin>r 

 jroods? Almost every one writes the main body of 

 their letter plain cnonjrii: but when they come to 

 their name and address they .dimply make " crow- 

 tracks." We ha\-e recei\-ed one order already thai 

 we can not tell where it eamo fi-om.

Gi.EANiNOS is a jrood advertising medium. Our 

 advertisement in it has' biouyht us a laixe trade. 

 We haven't written you a word yet about the hive 

 machinery we jrot from you. It works like a charm. 



HIP-SAWS vs. CUT-OEK SAWS EOlt MAKING DIAfJO- 

 NAI, CUTS. 



Here let us mention one thinn:. In your A H (' 

 book you say, on page 117, to cut out the mitei' 

 across the end, have your cut-off saw keen and 

 sharp. We wish you would sharpen an 8-inch rip- 

 saw and try it, instead of the cut-off. We saw out 

 that strip all the lime with a rijvsaw. Vou nniy 

 think, because it is across the ^rain, that a rip-saw 

 won't cut; but it will; we nnike it a success, and 

 can (Mit IWwith a rip saw while we would cut .5(1 

 with a cut-off. Di.xoN & nii.i.oN. 



Parrish, III., .June !), 1885. 



LFriends D. & P., it dep<'n<ison the kind of lumber 

 you have, somewhat, as to which of the two saws 

 should be used. For nicely seasoned clear lunil)er. 

 a rinsaw keen and sharp works just about as you 

 mention. Thanks for the kind words.]

Was it not a little unkind in you to so hurriedly 

 intimate that I had not >ivU'i\ honestly with jou'/ I 

 love Christ, and his " lo\ e constraincth us."' Chris- 

 tians will nearly always do as they ajrree to, at least 

 as neaily as they can. I liaxe had the money saveil 

 on purposi' for you ever since 1 said "make out 

 your bill and I will remit." Hut it is all ri>,'-ht, Itro. 

 Root; I am ii stranger to .M)U, and I have no doubt 

 you sometimes «et deceived as to your man. 



Valley S|Min;;, Tex. (). P. Staiik. 



[May (Jod bless you for your kind way of puttinfr 

 it, friend 8. Please loryixe me, if I was a little 

 hasty. The way it came about is. that our book- 

 keepers have instructions to note carefully whatev- 

 er promise is made when a man is trusted: and 

 whenever n man tails to keeji that promise, the.\- 

 are instiiicted to notif.\- him promptly. Vou see, 

 we have to work here l).\- {icneral rules, for the nuij?- 

 nitude of our btisiness is now away bevond my con- 

 stant oversight.]
