GLEANINGS IN BBE CULTURE 



" If Goods are wanted Quick, 

 send to Pouder." 



Bee Supplies! 



A bounteous crop of finest quality honey has been secured, and, resulting 

 from the needs of beekeepers in supplies, I have experienced the busiest 

 season that I have ever known. The demand for the Root Goods has 

 been excessive, and I have been very fortunate in keeping my stock com- 

 plete and filling orders promptly. To do this my helpers and myself were 

 required to apply ourselves from fifteen to eighteen hours per day. We 

 were, of course, glad enough to do this, but I am going to ofter some 

 attractive discounts for supplies to be used next year if ordered early, and 

 this will reduce the task of having so much to look after at the busy sea- 

 son. I believe the discounts will be a mutual benefit to all concerned. I 

 am always glad to quote lowest estimates on any list of goods. 



A feature on which I am now specializing is sending goods by parcel post. 

 If you are within 150 miles of Indianapolis I can have your goods deliv- 

 ered to your home at a very moderate cost, if the package doesn't weigh 

 over 20 pounds.

Dear Sir: — Comb honey arrived in excellent condition, and 

 I am highly pleased with quality of the honey. I will say a good 

 word about your business, and I appreciate your promptness and 

 careful methods. Yours, Edward Mayhugh. 



Frequently a delay in delivering goods means a heavy loss to the beekeep- 

 er. If you are in need of more sections, foundation, shipping-cases, paper 

 honey-jars, glass jars, or any thing required about the bees, I believe I can 

 make it to your advantage to write me. My catalog mailed free to any 

 address ; but if more convenient you may use the Root catalog in ordering, 

 prices being the same. 



I am in need of more beeswax, and should be glad to have you send your wax 

 here on a cash or trade basis, and you will find me prompt with returns.
