Please Excuse O. N. Baldwin. 



Baxter Springs, Kas., Mar. 5, 1919. 

 Ttie A. I. Root Co., 

 Medina, O. 



Gentlemen: — You have got me in an awful fix. 

 You placed my "ad" among the "Classified Adver- 

 tisements Received Late," following several "for 

 sale" ads, and everybody thinks I have packages of 

 bees and queens for sale, when the fact is I want 

 to buy. I have about 750 letters. What shall we 

 do .' Can you help us out ? 



O. N. Baldwin, 



So please don't expect Mr. Baldwin to furnish 

 you with queens and bees — and his "ad" did not say 

 he would. But — how an advertisement in Gleanings 

 does bring business !
