INDIANAPOLIS=THE PIVOT CITY. 



By the Bee Crank. 



Indianapolis is a mighty 

 good town to live in, and 

 a good town for business. 



Because — All passenger 

 and freight depots are within 

 five blocks of the business 

 center. 



Because — It is only 

 thirty-five miles from the 

 center of population of the 

 United States. 



Because — It has eigh- 

 teen steam railway lines. 



Because — It has twenty-five in- 

 terurban passenger and freight lines. 



Because — It is only seventy miles 

 from the vast coal-fields. 



Because — It has factories of 

 world-wide reputation. 



Because — It has a population of 

 two hundred and forty thousand, 

 and is growing. 



Because — It has miles of wide 

 well-paved streets, many well-dis- 

 tributed parks, and thousands of 

 homes surrounded with beautiful 

 lawns and shade-trees. 



Because — It has one 

 hundred and seventy-five 

 churches, sixty-five com- 

 mon schools, two high 

 schools, one national tech- 

 nical institute, and one col- 

 lege. 



Because— It is the home 

 of the very best bee-supply 

 house in the country, and 

 the only one that makes a 

 distinct specialty of im- 

 mediate shipments, perfect 

 packing and crating and services, 

 that have been pronounced byscores 

 of bee-men as being absolutely ideal.
