GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



Mar. 1 



H "If goods ar« wanted quick, sand to Pouder." 



Dear Sir : Indianapolis, March 1, 1911. 



Indications just now are very favorable for a good season, but we are, of 

 course, at the mercy of weather conditions. A good season means an exces- 

 sive demand for the line of supplies which I handle, and I mention this, urg- 

 ing niy friends to place their orders before goods are really needed, that none 

 may be disappointed. I have just been looking over my files to observe how 

 the same men continue with me year after year until their names become 

 familiar, and I think it would be very unusual for any patron to quit here 

 and place his order elsewhere, although I get many letters relating to disap- 

 pointments in securing their wants from other sources. I really want my 

 competitors to have a share of the business, for there is plenty of room for 

 all: but if you have been disappointed just try placing a trial order here. 

 Recently I was talking to you about getting so many nice encouraging letters 

 from my patrons, and if I only had more space I would like to show you some 

 of them, but here is just one example : 



Friend Poidbr :— It may be of some Interest to you to know how I came to be a customer 

 of yours. In 190!i I had sent elsewhere for supplies which were delayed; and. needing BuppUes 

 badlf , and, seeing your ad., I sent to you for an order, and your goods came at on<'e, as they 

 always have since, and seeing they were the Root goods I knew they were the best. I speak 

 well of your business when the opportunity offers, and it gives me pleasure to do so. Wish- 

 ing you success. Jesse S. Davis, Equality, 111.
