THE PERSONAL ELEMENT IN BUSINESS 



By the Bee Crank. 



The big corporations of 

 the day are hke monstrous 

 machines in which men 

 are only cogs in a wheel. 

 When a court of justice 

 undertakes to discipline 

 them it finds difficulty in 

 locating personal responsi- 

 bility on any one, from 

 president to office boy. 

 My bee-supply business 

 is not run in this way. 

 True, I do not do every 

 thing myself. I am fortunate in 

 having competent assistants. But 

 I keep in touch with every transac- 

 tion, and you may be sure that your 

 order, whether large or small, re- 

 ceives my own personal attention. 

 This explains why " If goods are 

 wanted quick, send to Pouder," you 

 get them quick. If you have ex- 

 perienced the other kind of ser\ice 

 and believe, as hundreds of my 

 patrons do, that the personal atten- 

 tion of the man you deal with is 

 worth while, send me your next 

 order as a trial. 



I have a full line of 

 Root's standard goods in 

 stock, ready for immediate 

 shipment. I sell them at 

 factory prices and give you 

 Pouder sfrv.ce. Just now 

 the demand is for shipping- 

 cases, sections, and honey- 

 jars, and I am prepared. 



Better send for my cata- 

 log if you haven't it. If 

 more convenient, order 

 from Root's. 

 Beeswax. — I have a large de- 

 mand, and can use all you have to 

 spare at 28 cents cabh or 30 cents 

 in trade, delivered here. 



Hoosier-Italian queens, reared 

 during the warm honey season. 

 Untested, 75 cents each; select un- 

 tested, $1.00. 



Walter S. Pouuer, Williamsbuig, Ind. 



Dear Sir: — I earnestly hope the foul-brood measure 

 will become a law. It would be a great thing for 

 Indiana, and I would fee! like taking hold of the busi- 

 ness in a much more earnest way. 1 have taken 

 nearly 2000 pounds of comb honey from 18 colonies 

 this season, and the bees are Walter S. Poudet's 

 Hoosier-Italians. Truly yours, Thomas A. Olek.
