1908 GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 131 



FROM MAINE TO MEXICO. 



Strange it is that some people have an idea that the wants of the readers of a bee-journal are 

 limited to such things as bee-keepers' supplies, queens, etc., forgetting that the average bee-keeper's 

 family requires a varied line of goods the same as the rest of humanity. 



In February last we received an order for a sing'.e insertion of a tlve-line advertisement of seed 

 corn, which cost the advertiser $1.00. On July 10 he wrote us : 



CALVIN S. HUNTER, 



GROWER 



BEST "WHITE SEED CORN." 



SINCE 1865. 



Seven Mile, O. July lo, i907. 



The A. I. Root Co. , 



Uedlna, 0. 

 Gentlemen: -- 



The fruit of my advertisement with your high-class journal reached 

 from Maine to Uexico. I send you a sample order and international 

 money-order in Spanish, which I am sure Mr. Root, Sr. , will he glad 

 to see. Tell him I sent this man the finest corn in the kingdom, 

 for I was not looking for an order "from the uttermost parts of the 

 earth." Very truly yours, 



Calvin S. Hunter. 



This man is only a chance advertiser in Gleanings in our classifled columns, and yet he has to 

 report such results as above. He is one of the readers of Gleanings lately referred to as being one of 

 the substantial buying class, and is only incidentally an advertiser with us. In looking over his corre- 

 spondence, we find the following statement from him : 



Seven Mile, O., July lo. 1907. 



The A. I. Root Co. , 



Medina, 0. 

 Gentlemen : -- 



I have a great respect for GLBANINGS, and, on our table, contain- 

 ing twenty to thirty of the leading journals and papers, it is the 

 gem of the lot. Yours very truly, 



Calvin S. Hunter. 



When Gleanings stands so high in the estimation of its readers, it isn't to be wondered at that 

 35,000 of them would constitute a strong buying class. 



For many lines which haven't been widely advertised with u9 as yet, it offers a very fertile field, 

 probably many times better than the overworked columns of the agricultural papers. Particular in- 

 formation regarding the class of people we reach, or any thing relating to the subject, may be secured 

 by addressing
