KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



A SAMPLE OF THE ENCOUKAGINO WOHDS ONE 

 GETS WHEN HE REALLY TRIES TO PLEASE. 



Your kind offer of Sept. 29th is rec'd, and in reply 

 I would say that the pecuniar.y loss on goods was 

 not very great, and the satisfaction of feeling that 

 one is dealing with an honest party is amply suffi- 

 cient to counterbalance it. C. E. Merrill. 



Earlville, Ohio, Oct. 37, 1884. 



KIND WORDS FROM A .JUVENILE. 



Thank you for the watch. It arrived safe. It is a 

 little beauty. I was astonished to see how grand it 

 was. It was multiim in parvo—much in little. Hon- 

 ey was a failure here this year. 



FnANK J. Stephens. 



Cokeville, Pa., Nov. 3, 1884. 



My other goods came all right and in good condi- 

 tion. The queen and half-pound of bees came in 

 good shape— only .5 dead bees. By carelessness of 

 the express agent I did not get them until live days 

 after starting. Candy was all consumed, but the 

 bees were brightand lively; the queen is doing fine- 

 ly, with a large colonj' of young bees from other 

 colonies. H. P. Pitman. 



Williams, Ind.-, Nov., 1884. 



OUR DEVICE TO PREVENT HONEY FROM FLYING 

 OVER THE SIDES OF THE EXTRACTOR, ETC. 



I received your rim, and tried it last week. " Nov- ; 

 ice" is an e.xcellent machine now. I have no fault 

 to find with it. Your glass-cutter and putty-knife 

 is the cheapest and best thing for the money I ever 

 got. Many thanks for the rim. 



G. W. Ballinoer. 



St. Johns, Clinton Co., Mich., Oct. 28, 1884. 



THE PAY WE GET FOR TRYING TO PLEASE. 



The smoker and package of slats arrived all right. 

 I did not ask for nor e.xpeet any allowance on smo- 

 ker; it was not ruined -only damaged. But as you 

 were so liberal as to send another, and remember- 

 ing your kindness in reference to one-piece sec- 

 tions in a former order, I present no further claim 

 on you at this time, but acknowledge myself full.v 

 satisfied. Those sections I received from you last 

 were " just splendid." It is a pleasure to work with 

 them, A. C. Washburn. 



Carbondale, 111., July 2, 1884. 



SO.ME KIND WORDS IN REGARD TO GETTING IN 

 DEBT. 



Friend Root, print in a prominent place in next 

 Gleanings, "Don't get in debt," and put it in big 

 letters. There is no slavery much more galling 

 than that of debt. 1 am thankful e\ cry day that 

 my good mother broufzht me up not to use tobacco 

 or whisky, so I do not have to waste any thing for 

 that, that should go tor debts. Edwin Hunt. 



Sheridan, Mich., Nov. 1, 1884. 



[I suppose you mean, friend H., that we ought to 

 be careful about cramping ourselves by debt. One 

 can not get along in the world without incurring 

 obligation of some kind; but I agree with you, that 

 unless he has at least two or three places where he 

 can surely get the money in a eontingeney, he had 

 better go without the thing wanted, and 1 sum'ose 

 this is the point .\()n nicaii to iniike. There are few 

 things in this woi-ld more harrassing and trying to 

 one who wants to be honorable and fair with all his 

 fellows, than being cramped by debts; and woe be- 

 tide the time when any man shall give up trying to 

 pay all honest dues.]
