WHAT YOU 

 CAN DO. 



By the Bee Crank 



You can't cure hams with a hammer, 



Nor open a clam with a clamor; 



Pick plumbs oflf a plumber. 



Do sums with a summer, 



Nor shear an old ram with a rammer " 



But you "CAN take 

 honey and turn it into 

 money. 



Now is the time to be 

 making your final spring 

 preparations. Robins are 

 arriving in IndianapoHs on 

 every southern breeze, and 

 all nature is shaking herself 

 and beginning to wake up. 



You will soon be so busy that you 

 will hardly have time to do half the 

 things that spring forces upon you. 

 One of the things that you can do 

 now, better than later, is to order 

 your BEE-SUPPLIES. Then 

 you can dismiss the subject from 

 your mind. I'll do the rest. My 



new building is bulging 

 out with frgsh, bright, new 

 stock of things that would 

 interest any bee-man — all 

 Root's goods at Root's 

 prices and with Pouder 

 service. 



My New Catalog 

 should be in the hands of 

 every bee-keeper. Drop 

 me a card and I will send 

 it to you. It lists all the 

 needfuls and is profusely 

 illustrated. 



Beeswax. I am now 

 paying 29 cents cash, or 31 cents 

 in trade, delivered here. To me, 

 beeswax is same as gold coin. 



Walter S. Poudkr, Angola, Ind. 



Diar Sir: — Please quote estimate on the following 

 supplies. I surely want Root's goods, and would 

 rather order them from Pouder, for 1 will then know 

 that the order will be properly taken care of. 



Yours truly, Harley H. Webb. 



Walter S. Pouder, 



859 MassacKtisetts A.venue, Indianapolis, Indiana
