GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



Jan. 1 



••If goods are ^vanted quicR, send to Poiider."

"GET BUSY" 



By the Bee Crank 



Said one little chick with a funny little 



squirm, 

 " I wish I could find a nice fat worm." 

 Said another little chick, with a queer 



little shrug, 

 " I wish I could find a nice fat bug." 

 Said a third little chick, with a strange 



little squeal, 

 " I wish I could find some nice yellow 



meal." 

 " Look here," said the mother, from the 



green garden patch, 

 " If you want any breakfast, you must 



get up and scratch." 



I am doing a little 

 scratching myself just now; 

 and as an inducement to 

 you to do the same I offer 

 a discount of three per 

 cent on all cash orders re- 

 ceived during January. 



My Twentieth Anniver- 

 sary. — It is just twenty years 

 since 1 began the bee-supply busi- 

 ness in Indianapolis. Through the 

 patronage of the bee-men all over 

 the United States and in some for- 

 eign countries — a patronage which 

 I appreciate and am trying every 

 day to merit more fully — my busi- 

 ness has increased to such propor- 



quarters. I am erecting a 

 handsome new building 

 which I expect to occupy 

 by the first week in Janu- 

 ary. This building will 

 give me still better facili- 

 ties for handling the busi- 

 ness of my patrons. It is 

 located at 859 Massachu- 

 setts Avenue, where I shall 

 be glad to greet any friends 

 who can pay me a visit 

 when passing through the 

 capitol city of the great 

 Hoosier State. 



No Interference 



with Business. — Send in }Our 

 orders as heretofore. There will 

 be no delay through the move into 

 the new building. I am stocking 

 up with a new and fresh line of 

 Root's goods which will be sold at 

 Root's prices, less the discount men- 

 tioned above. 



Send iVIe Your Beeswax. 



Highest market price, cash or trade. 



tions that it has outgrown my present Illustrated catalog mailed free.
