10 GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



" If goods are ivanted quick, send to Ponder.'" 

 (Twenty-third year.) 



If I should deliver Bee Supplies as this dear old lady 

 delivered her eggs I would soon be in possession of a lot 

 of complaints. After all, it's service that appeals to the 

 careful buyer. This house not only has the inclination, 

 but the facilities and the resources, to serve its patrons 

 most satisfactorily. 



Hives, sections, comb foundation, and smokers are 

 now in much demand, and I would like to show you how 

 promptly I can deliver any of these goods to you, regard- 

 less of distance or location. My nailed and painted hives 

 are carefully crated, and wrapped in paper — all being 

 done at the Root factory, where facilities are perfection — 

 and then delivered to me in full carloads of assorted goods. 

 If you should require one of these hives you would find it 

 clean, accurate, and built like a piece of parlor furniture. 

 No wonder that the bee business is fascinating when we 

 consider the facilities at hand to-day; and the kind and 

 appreciative expressions from my patrons about these 

 goods is very gratifying to me. 



You will find my catalog worthy of your attention, 

 and I would like to place it in your hands free. 



Remember me when j'^ou. have beeswax to offer, and 

 you will find me prompt with returns and highest mar- 

 ket price.
