*" ious that you do not place vour order for supplies till you have examined my ^\ 



»!4. new catalog. I make QUALITY and REIvIABII,ITY of goods the main issue, J^ 



'i^ as many of you know, and I have never found it neressary to cut the price in or- 't^ 



ili der to compete with inferior goods. My prices are, however, as low a i •^^ 



**^ they can be made and still maintain the present high standard of quality. My ^1^ 



•Sli business has had a wonderful growth and I am occupying larger quarters with .^ft- 



"^ the largest stock that I have ever carried. I take good care of my customers ':^ 



^^ and that is one reason why my business grows, but, to be modest about the mat- •^R 



*♦* ter, the greatest reason for this growth can be attributed to the quality of goods ^l^ 



i^ that I am handling. Bee-keepers, I believe, want the ''est and would not be ^& 



^^ satisfied with anything else. Get Root Qdality from Indianapolis and you \v\ 



iJi will be more than satisfied. -^^

* . Dear Sir: — Find order enclosed which you may ship as early as convenient ^^ 



^W- You may wonder why I did not older more hives; I will explain to you that I ^JX 



t bought 50 hives and a lot of sections last fall from another firm. I did this be- xv 



^^ cause they offered the goods at the old prices. I do not like the hives, and y^ 



,1^ thought I had better return to the fold. Truly yours, •^^
