GLEANINGS BINDERS. 



As promised in a recent issue we present a cut 

 of the binder we have adopted for Gleanings. It 

 has a half-oval block of wood bound into the back 

 so that it shows in the case as a full volume, wheth- 

 ■er it has one or more numbers in it. You no- 



tice theie are 'H steel strips, one for each number in 

 the volume. Each number is slii^ped over a strip, 

 as it comes to liand, in a moment's time, without 

 mutilation ; and any )iumber can be removed and 

 replaced instantly without disturbing the rest. 

 They are neatly lettered in gold-leaf, "Gleanings 

 IN Bee Culture" on the front side and on the 

 back. We have them all cloth or with leather back 



and corners. Price, all cloth, 65 cents each. Cloth 

 and leather, 75 cents each. By mail, 17 cents extra 

 for postage.

ECONOHY IN PAINTING 



DEPENDS UPON THE 



Durability and Covering Power 



of the paint used. A paint made of White T^eacI, Xlnc, and 

 I^iirc Linseed Oil, thoroughly mi.ved and finely ground by 

 powerful machinery must be more durable and have greater cov- 

 ering power than a paint stirred up by hand with a stick. 



B. P. S. PAINTS ARE HADE TO WEAR, 



and one gallon will cover over 300 sq. ft. of average surface two 

 coats. It is fully guaranteed by our agents, and a trial will con- 

 vince you that it is the 



Best Paint So'd. 



13 Carloads of Supplies. 



This is the amount Wfc have distributed in a single season, of 

 Foundation, Dov. Hives, Sections, E.xtractors, etc. Therefore, if 

 you have little niDticti and want that little to go as far as possible, 

 remember that we are headquarters in the west for all goods in 

 our line; l)j' doing so great a volume of business we sell goods 



cheap. If you have t)ie money, also remember you can make it earn a big interest by availing yourself of 



our discounts for early orders. In either case you should write us and tell what you will likely need. It 



will pay you. We sell Root's goods at Root's prices, and can save you freight.
