THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER 



113 



Cent=a=Word Column. 



It frequently occurs that some member of the 

 Bee-Keeper family desires to advertise for sale 

 some article the vahie of which will hardly 

 justify the payment of our regular rates; and 

 yet it would be an accommodation if he were 

 permitted to tell others what he has to offer. 

 Some other reader may be in need of just such 

 an article as that of which he wishes to dis- 

 pose. Again, it is as frequently desired to ex- 

 change commodities for which we have no 

 especial use, for something more desirable, and 

 such exchanges are often made to mutual ad- 

 vantage. We have, therefore, decided to place 

 at the disposal of our readers a column devot- 

 ed to the accomplishment of these ends; though 

 we cannot be responsible for any possible dissat- 

 isfaction which might arise as a result of such 

 exchanges. The rate will be uniformly one cent 

 for each word, each month; no advertisement 

 however small will be accepted for less than 

 twenty cents, and must be paid in advance. 

 Count the words, and remit with order accord- 

 ingly.

 for taking orders. Steady work. Apply Pro- 

 tective Nurseries, Geneva, N. Y.

There was a man in our town who thought 

 him wondrous wise; he swore by all the fabled 

 gods he'd never advertise. But his goods were 

 advertised ere long, and therby hangs a tale: 

 The ad. was set in nonpareil (this size), and 

 headed SHERIFF'S SALE.— M. T.

 keeps a complete supply of our goods, and 

 Eastern customers will save freight by order- 

 ing of him.
