GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



Sept. 15 



' If Goods are wanted Quick, Send to Pouder." 

 Established 1 889 



It's "JOHNNY ON THE SPOT" That Counts 



By the Bee Crank 



A Yankee lad" at a Vermont summer resort offered 

 anj Indianapolis clubman a fine string of speckled 

 trout for fifteen cents. "My lad," said he, "in In- 

 dianapolis you could get six or seven dollars for that 

 catch." "Yes," replied the boy, "and if I had a basket 

 of snowballs in purgatory I could get fifty dollars apiece 

 for them." 



Which is merely another way of saying that a per- 

 fectly satisfactory delivery service is as necessary as 

 desirable goods. And this in turn is merely prelimi- 

 nary to reminding bee-men again that in Root's goods at 

 factory prices with Pouder service you have a perfect 

 combination. Best goods, quick delivery, and lowest 

 prices. 



Knowing that to the bee-man even a trifling delay 

 often means a great loss, I keep my warehouse filled 

 with standard goods ready to ship at a moment's notice. 

 Pouder-service patrons also have another advantage in 

 the fact that I am located in the greatest inland railroad center in the world, 

 with bee-line roads radiating to all parts of the country. You frequently 

 have your goods before another house could possibly have received the 

 order. 



Let me send my catalog. It is free. Or you can make up your order 

 from the Root catalog if you prefer, our prices being identical. 



BEESWAX. — I am now paying 28 cents cash or 30 cents in trade. I can 

 use more wax. 



HONEY. — While honey is not generally plentiful I have been fortunate 

 in securing the finest and largest stock that I have ever had on hand at one 

 time before. Bee-keepers as well as merchants are good buyers this year; 

 and if you have particular patrons who require finest quality — the kind that 

 brings them back with the remark that they would like more like the last 

 lot — I can supply you. Write for prices.
