THE OUTLOOK 



By the Bee Crank 



Some genius has said 

 that an optimist looks at 

 the doughnut and a pessi- 

 mist at the hole. Who 

 gets the most out of life? 

 The optimist, to be sure, 

 because we live less in the 

 past or the present than in 

 the unknown future, and 

 that future is bad or good 

 according as we look at it 

 through blue spectacles or 

 touch it up with the sun- 

 shine of hope and the bright 

 rainbow tints of optimism. 



There was once a man 

 who, after a long and active business 

 career retired to a handsome new 

 home which he had built to occupy 

 during his declining years. He put 

 this inscription over the library man- 

 tel: — "I have lived many days, and 

 these days have been full of trouble, 

 but most of it never happened." 



Let us make 1909 the best year 

 of our lives. It is up to you and 

 me. Every prospect is encouraging. 

 The clouds that one year ago were 

 gathering thick on the financial 

 horizon have broken and are fast 



dissolving in the ethereal 

 blue. 



Are you ready for the 

 good times sure to come? 

 How about your bee sup- 

 plies? You should get 

 them now; you know that 

 as well as I do. Then you 

 will have them ready for 

 the opening days of spring. 

 Besides this advantage I 

 give you a special discount 

 of three per cent on all cash 

 orders received during Jan- 

 uary. 



I carry Root's goods and 

 sell them at Root's prices, less the 

 discount above mentioned. You 

 can order from my catalog or from 

 Root's. I am now located in my 

 new building, and no one in all the 

 world is better equipped to give 

 you perfect service than I. Come 

 and visit with me when in Indian- 

 apolis. 



I can use more beeswax at 28 

 cents spot cash or 30 cents in trade 

 for supplies. 



My illustrated catalog is free.
