By the Bee Crank. 



Not ''halfway" satisfactory, but entirely satisfactory, and 

 from a prosperous little town in Missouri, the State where folks 

 have to be shown. I find, though, that there are bee-men in 

 othtr States who are in need of being shown as well as those in 

 Missouri. Try placing a trial order here, regardless of distance, 

 and let me show you what I can do by way of accuracy, prompt- 

 ness, and finest quality of goods. The following whole-souled 

 letter from Mr. Taft speaks for itself : 



Halfway, Mo. 

 Mr. Walter 8. Pouder:— The goods are here, and every thing is all right— not 

 a blemish on any thing. I never saw goods packed better. I am more than 

 plea'-ed, and the freight from Indianapolis to Bolivar was less than I expected. 

 The honey and wax extractors are simply tine; and when I want more goods I 

 know where to send Truly yours, J. M. Taft. 



Incidentally, Mr. Taft's letter conveys a very strong sug- 

 gestion to other bee-men regarding the place to order their sup- 

 plies. Packing goods carefully and getting them to my cus- 

 tomers in perfect condition is a matter of 

 temperament with me. If there was any 

 thing wrong it would worry me more than 

 it did the consignee. I handle all sorts 

 of bee-supplies, sell Root's goods at Root's 

 prices, and it's only "halfway" as far 

 from me to you as it is from any other 

 point in the universe where you could buy 

 your supplies. 



I pay highest cash and trade prices 

 for beeswax Send it along by freight 

 or express according to size of package. 



Finest white-clover extracted honey in any quantity. Write 

 for quotations. My illustrated catalog is free. 



Walter S. Pouder,
