THE FIRM OF TOEPPERWEIN & MAYFIELD, SUPPLY 

 dealers IN TEXAS, UNDER A NEW MANAGE- 

 MENT; DEATH OF W. M. MAVFIF;LI). 



We regret to announce that Mr. W. M. Mayfield, 

 Secretary and Treasurer of tlie Toepperwein & May- 

 field Co., of San Antonio, Texas, died recently in 

 that city. Shortly before the death of Mr. Mayfield 

 Mr. Udo Toepperwein sold out his interest to Messrs. 

 R. W. Hearne and B. L. Raborn, well-known busi- 

 ness men of San Antonio. The retirement of the old- 

 er members of the company will in no way change 

 the policies of the new management except to in- 

 crease materially the capital with the view of carry- 

 ing a large stock of supplies. Mr. Morris, who has 

 been practically the manager of the Toepperwein 

 & Mayfield Co., will continue, we understand, with 

 the new management. In this connection we give 

 herewith an announcement they are putting out. 



We take this opportunity to advise our friends 

 and customers, as well as the public in general, of 

 a change of ownership and management of the Toep- 

 perwein & Mayfield Co., occasioned by the retire- 

 ment from the company of Mr. Udo Toepperwein. 



Mr. Toepperwein's interests have been taken over 

 by Messrs. R. W. Hearne and B. L. Raborn, both 

 well-known biisiness men of San Antonio. It is the 

 intention of the new management to increase ma- 

 terially the capital of the company, with the view of 

 carrying a stock of supplies that will meet all the 

 requirements of the trade. This will enable us to 

 effect prompt shipments at all times, and thus avoid 

 any delay and annoyance to customers on account 

 of shortage of stock. 



It will be our endeavor to accord our customers 

 all possible courtesies and consideration in any 

 matters that may arise. Mistakes will occur at 

 times, as is only natural, and we only ask that they 

 be brought to our attention so that they may be rec- 

 tified. Our customers may be assured of the best 

 quality of goods at as reasonable prices as are con- 

 sistent with business methods. 



Toepperwein & Mayfield Company. 



We are pleased to advise that Messrs. Hearne & 

 Raborn are strong financially, and will be in posi- 

 tion to serve the patrons of the old company even 

 better than before. They own a large warehouse, 

 and will no doubt be glad to see any of their friends 

 and patrons whenever they are in the city. 



In reference to the death of Mr. Mayfield, which, 

 we may say, was not unexpected, we may add that 

 his loss will be felt not only by his beekeeping 

 friends but by a large circle of friends. He was a 

 Mason and Odd Fellow, and also a member of the 

 Fraternal Brotherhood. Surviving him are a widow 

 and son. It is presumed, of course, the son will now 

 be an active partner with the other gentlemen men- 

 tioned. We predict for the new management a large 

 measure of success.

the STORV OF THE BIBLE FROM GENESIS TO REVELA- 

 TION. BV CHARLES FOSTER. 



Told in simple language. Adapted to all ages, but 

 especially to the young. Three hundred illustrations 

 More than 750,000 copies have been sent out, and 

 the book has been translated into foreign languages. 



I 



Tliose who have read Gleanings for twenty years 

 or more will remember what was said about the 

 Story of the Bible, or, rather, how much was said 

 about it over twenty years ago. I do not know just 

 how I got hold of it; but as it is a good-sized book, 

 with the whole Bible in regular order in languaga 

 so plain that a child can understand it, it appealed 

 to me at once. Of course I took it home and showed 

 it to Mrs. Root and the children. Our youngest son, 

 tlien nearly ten years old, took a great fancy to it. 

 The result of his reading it so many times is that 

 he has now and has had all his life a splendid birds- 

 eye view of the whole Bible — something of great 

 value to any man, woman, or child; and I think 

 even the enemies of the Bible, if there are any such 

 in this present day and age, will be compelled to ad- 

 mit as much. In this age of information it is of 

 vast importance that every person know just what 

 is and what is not in the Holy Scriptures. 



I think I make no mistake in saying that just now 

 the Bible is valued and read more than ever before 

 since the world began. It is now printed in some 

 thing like 300 languages — that is, whole or in part; 

 and it may not be out of place for me to state that 

 the work of ijrinting the Bible has resulted in giving 

 an alphabet and a printed form to fully 150 lan- 

 guages. Of what other book can that be said? 



Especially when Christmas is approaching, many 

 wise and thoughtful parents think of this beautiful 

 book as a Christmas present. If I am correct, the 

 original author, Charles Foster, is dead; but a son 

 of his has been for some time at work in getting out 

 a new enlarged and revised edition. There are now 

 over 700 pages in the book; and as it weighs about 

 3 lbs. the postage on it alone is 24 cts. There are 

 300 beautiful illustrations in it. As a rule I do 

 not greatly admire Holy-Land pictures, such as we 

 have in some of our Sunday-school books and pa- 

 pers ; but the illustrations in this are beautiful and
