By the Bee Crank 



There was a bee 

 Sat on a wall ; 



And it did buzz, 

 And that was all.

you Zeke ! how can you write that way 

 about the busy bees? They are not buzzers 

 but they are hummers. I suppose you are a 

 good poet; but if you will provide those bees 

 with the necessary equipment, giving them 

 every opportunity, they will surprise you. It 

 pays to provide them with the things that make 

 their work easy. Let me send my illustrated 

 catalog, which is full of just the things you need 

 to increase your profits. I am also offering 

 some very liberal discounts for early orders. I 

 handle Root's standard goods at factory prices, 

 and I get the goods to you quickly because I 

 carry a complete line in stock, and I think you 

 realize what it means to have your shipments 

 come from Indianapohs. 



_ BEESWAX. — I am now paying 28 cents 



—"^^ spot cash, or 30 cents in trade for good average 

 beeswax delivered here. Small shipments by express and large 

 ones by freight ; and be sure to attach your name. 



HONEY. — I still have a very large stock of the finest honey, 

 both comb and extracted. I secured the greater portion of my 

 stock early in the season, and am offering it at the following 

 prices, which now are lower than most producers are asking. 



Extracted honey, case of two 60-pound cans, 10c per pound. 



Extracted honey, five-case lots, 9c per pound. 



I have on hand a lot of zinc Alley traps and entrance-guards 

 which I am going to. offer at ridiculous prices. They are Root 

 quality, nice bright goods; and while they last go at these prices: 



90 Alley traps, 10-frame size, each 25 cents. 



120 Alley traps, 8-frame size, each 25 cents. 



115 entrance-guards, 10-frame size, each 5 cents. 



120 entrance-guards, 8-frame size, each 5 cents. 



These all have fronts made of perforated zinc instead of wire. 



How many can you use?
