A Far-Reaching: Instltutlon.—The J. R. Wat- 

 kins Medical Co., of Winona, Minn , one of our 

 advertising- patrons, does business on a g-rand 

 scale Since the foundine of the instituiion up- 

 wards of 35 years a^o, the spread of the Wat- 

 kias remedies has been phenomenal. At the 

 present time, the two immenseSstory and three 

 3-story buildings, erected and devoted to the 

 manufacture and sale of these remedies, g-ive 

 them a working^ lloor-space of two acres. The 

 equipment in the line of power, machinery, lab' 

 oratories and appliances, is one of the most 

 modern and approved character, affording the 

 most perfect facilities for carrying on the work. 

 Yet comprehensive and modern as their great 

 plant is. it is only in keeping with the demand 

 for its famous products which for many years 

 have been erowing in favor all over the country. 



But the Watkins Instituiion is not all com- 

 prehended in the home plant. The Watkins 

 wagons are almost as familiar sights in the 

 conntry as the mail carrier. These wagons are 

 not to be confounded with the ordinary huck- 

 ster or peddler, but are a part of the great Wat- 

 kins Company, in charge of bonded employes, 

 carrying and distributing the Watkins prepa- 

 rations and nothing else, directly among the 

 people. People patronizing the«e wagons a^-e 

 buying at first-hand from the Company. The 

 Company is thus calling in person, not occa- 

 sionally, but regularly, at the homes of their 

 patrons, securing permanent customers, build- 

 ing still wider for the future and extending 

 trade in the most open and fair, and at the same 

 time, the most effective means that could be 

 employed. Any agreement made with a Wat- 

 kins agent as to credit, etc., is a contract with 

 the Company itself, and is always faithfully 

 carried out. Any errors that may be made are 

 cheerfully corrected. There is no hazard in 

 dealing with the Company through their own 

 employes. The latest edition of the Watkins 

 Home Doctor and Cook-Book is just off the 

 press. It would pay our readers to send for a 

 copy and get better acquainted with the Wat- 

 kins idea of doing business. See the advertise- 

 ment elsewhere, and kindly mention the Amer- 

 ican Bee Journal when writing.
