A TRIAL ADVERTISEMENT. 



The following little nugget of wisdom was 

 given to advertisers by the "Music Trades 

 Review." Every successful advertiser long 

 since learned its truth: 



"The failure of a trial advertisement has 

 set more business men against advertising 

 than any other factor in publicity. This is 

 a pity when the indefiniteness of a trial ad- 

 vertisement is considered. A trial advertise- 

 ment represents low water mark — absolute 

 bottom. It is not decisive. It has no more 

 value as evidence than a first meeting wiih 

 an individual who afterward becomes your 

 friend. Of all the advertisements in a long 

 campaign it is worse, though it is written by 

 an adept. If it is written by a novice in 

 advertising that novice will never write a 

 weaker one. It is like the first discord struck 

 out of the piano by a beginner. If a student 

 becomes disgusted with such an initial effort 

 he will never get farther, and if a merchant 

 abandons his advertisnig intentions because 

 the first advertisement was unremunerative, 

 he will never get farther. The first attempt 

 at anything is valuable only as an educator."

 Dear Sir: 



Warm to-day, and so I looked through 

 the bees. Don't recall seeing them in 

 much better condition. Most seem to 

 have plenty of stores, some too much. 

 One comb drawn out had sealed brood. 

 Have lost one colony in 46, and that due 

 to no stores. Was not handled last fall 

 and thought to be o. k. So far the least 

 loss in years.
