The Business End of the Bee 



By the Bee Cranlc 





This is a favorite expression with the humorist, 

 and the bee certainly has a business end, and a suc- 

 cessful one, too; but it is possible that the constant 

 search of the humorist for something- with a point to it 

 is responsible for his mistake in selecting the wrong 

 end of the bee as its business end. 



The fact that bees succeed in their business, 

 even under very adverse circumstances, has made 

 many bee-keepers careless regarding small details, 

 which if attended to would add very largely to the 

 profits. Why not give the bees a square deal since it 

 will be dollars in your pockets to do so? 



For more than twenty years I have been scour- 

 ing the country for things which will help the bee in 

 its business of gathering and storing honey. In my 

 catalog you will find a complete list of those which 

 have made good. Let me send it to you free and it 



may remind you of something your bees have asked , 



for and you have neglected to provide. ""^'^ 



Right at this time the "Pouder Quick Service" means a great deal to 

 the bee-man. With bee-line steam and electric roads radiating in every di- 

 rection from Indianapolis, neither your order nor your shipment loses any 

 time in transit. 



Honey. I have been very fortunate in accumulating the largest stock 

 of finest quality of honey that I have ever had on hand at one time before. 

 Many of the best bee-keepers in Michigan and Wisconsin having sent their 

 honey to me. I find that many bee-keepers as well as dealers are taking 

 care of their home trade by getting a supply here. If interested write for 

 my monthly quotations of the Indianapolis honey market. It is free 



Indiana State Fair. If you come to the fair make it a point to meet 

 your bee-keeping friends at my exhibit, which will be in Horticultural Hall 

 as usual. Leave your wraps and lunch-baskets in our care and have it un- 

 derstood with your companions that if you become separated in the crowds 

 you will immediately meet at my exhibit. I will have on exhibition a com- 

 plete line of Root Bee Supplies and some of the finest honey and beeswax 

 that you have ever seen. 



Write me about anything pertaining to the bee industry and expect an 

 immediate reply.
