A Memory Cure 



By the Bee Crank 



The Federal Independent Bee-keeper says, 

 "For a bad memory drink sage tea sweetened 

 with honey." I don't know how this will work 

 —never tried it. But I frequently receive let- 

 ters from bee-men who have "bad memories" 

 about deals with different bee-supply houses, 

 and their letters indicate that, since they are 

 sending their orders to me, they have good 

 memories. 



Say, brother, if you are troubled with any 

 of these bad memories, what you need is an 

 application of Pouder's Perfect Service. This is 

 a compound which I have been furnishing for 

 twenty years, consisting of good goods, prompt 

 shipments, careful packing, close prices at the 

 very factory schedule, and minute attention to 

 the little details. The compound is accomplish- 

 ing wonders. 



My fourth carload for the season has just 

 arrived, and this car contained 25 tons of the 

 very choicest goods. A note from the factory 

 tells me that it is one of the finest cars of sup- 

 plies that they have ever sent out. I am pre- 

 pared to shoot the goods to you, frequently 

 before the other fellow would get the order. 

 Root's Goods with Pouder service is a combina- 

 tion that means perfect satisfaction.

Dear Sir; — Supplies came through all right, and, as 1 had expected, 

 very prompt, and that is why I sent to you. Yours, C. A. Wurth. 



Walter S. Pouder, Indianapolis, Ind. Randolph, New York. 



Dear Sir': — The goods came yesterday, and every thine o. k. Thank 

 you. 1 shall need more supplies this fall, and will^call upon you again. 

 Your promptness in the present deal has been real refreshing. If more peo- 

 ple knew of your business methods your trade would double. But I guess it 

 is extra good by the surface indications. White clover is looking fine, and 

 it is plentiful. Yours truly, Geo. Shihkr. 



I could use more beeswax at 29 cents cash, 

 or 31 cents in trade. My catalog is free. May 

 I have the pleasure of sending it to you?
