Are You a Locomotive 

 or a Caboose? 



These startling words greeted me from 

 a piece of advertising matter that recently 

 came to my desk. It suggested a train of 

 thought. 



1 here are two kinds of bee-keepers — lo- 

 comotives and cabooses The locomotive 

 bee-keeper is always ahead. He informs 

 himself. He has the ABC and X Y Z of 

 Bee Culture.. He takes Gleanings in Bee 

 Culture. He supplements the knowledge 

 thus acquired with actual painstaking work 

 among the bees. He masters the details, 

 with the result that he always gets honey — 

 and money. He does not wait until he has 

 a swarm hanging on a tree before he orders 

 hives, nor until the honey-flow has actually 

 begun before securing sections and founda- 

 tion. He does not buy cheap, inferior sup- 

 plies and then lose half his cro]) waiting for 

 them to come. He saves on the cost of 

 his .supplies by .sending his order to Peirce 

 for ROOT'S GOODS during the fall and 

 winter, thus getting the early-order discount 



The other kind of bee-keeper is a ca- 

 boose. Which are You? 



December discount, 4 per cent. Catalog 

 for the asking.
