Flooded Stock! 



Owlnfif to the recent floods in Zanesville 

 my stock of bee supplies has been some- 

 what damaged by water, and I am obliged 

 to move the same at once. As the water 

 stood on the stock but a comparatively short 

 time, the condition of the material is not at 

 all bad ; but I am prepared, nevertheless, 

 to offer some very decided bargains in or- 

 der to move it all this month, and make 

 room for new stock ah'eady ordered from 

 the factory. I will have ready for mailing 

 within a few days a list of damaged stock 

 with its condition fully described, and the 

 discounts I can make on the same. Write 

 for this list at once if you want to buy 

 some otherwise good stock at reduced prices. 

 You will save money by so doing, and help 

 me at a time when I need your help. 



As I had a carload of goods ordered be- 

 fore the flood, and as the factory is helping 

 me out with direct shipments, all orders 

 are being cared for promptly, and being 

 filled with standard undamaged stock with- 

 out delay.

A KIND WORD FOR THE HOME PAPERS. 



Mr. A. J. Root: — The richest thing in Gleanings 

 for Nov. 15 was the wail of C. P. Kimball, on page 

 9. He wants you to stick to bees, more bees, all 

 bees, nothing but bees. I infer he doesn't like some- 

 thing in the Home Department. Oh dear! Why 

 couldn't he read Gleanings as far as Our Homes, 

 and then stop ? My opinion is, he couldn't stop then. 

 He just had to read Our Homes, either because he 

 liked it or because he didn't like it. But there was 

 no need of his coming back at you for trying to 

 make this world better. Now, Mr. Root, I will give 

 you fair warning that, if you ever drop Our Homes, 

 I will drop Gleanings, t seldom read the bee part 

 of your paper, but always read every thing else. I 

 am not a church member, and don't go to church; 

 but I think if your advice were followed, and the 

 reforms you advocate were adopted, this would be 

 quite a heavenly world. 



Cleveland's " Golden-rule " police department is a 

 good one too. The idea of dumping their undesirable 

 citizens into their neighboring cities and towns ! 

 Their conception of the " golden rule " must be 

 badly " frazzled."

PHELPS factories NOT TOUCHED BY BIG FLOOD. 



One of the biggest and oldest industries in the 

 State of Ohio, The Ohio Carriage Mfg. Co., makers 

 of the famoys Split Hickory vehicles, escaped all 

 damage from the flood. The general havoc created 

 in some parts of Columbus has rapidly given way 

 to the regular order. The Ohio Carriage Factories 

 and others happily located were entirely out of 

 reach, and far removed from the troubled side of the 

 city. . Their business is progressing without inter- 

 ruption, and the railroads are taking prompt care 

 of all shipments.
