GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



21 



Buyer's Bureau 



This department is greatly encouraged in its ef- 

 forts to maintain a high degree of efficiency and to 

 serve faithfully all who may choose to avail them- 

 selves of our experience and knowledge, by many 

 interesting letters that come from our bee-keeping 

 friends. We do not care to disguise in the least the 

 fact that inquiries addressed to the Buyers' Bureau 

 for information, catalogs, prices, etc., on various 

 goods or articles, whether advertised in Gleanings 

 or not, help us in making our journal a more Inter- 

 esting market-place. Certainly we want to carry 

 the announceraeuts of reliable concerns who have 

 something to sell that you will want to buy — that 

 you may have to buy any way; or, if it be some ar- 

 ticle that will brighten your home life— a piano, for 

 Instance, or a phonograph— that you are fortunate- 

 ly in position where you can aflford to purchase. 



When inquiries come to us we immediately ad- 

 vi.se one or two, or (in some cases) more, advertisers 

 that information on this subject or that Is wanted, 

 and suggest immediate attention to our reader's re- 

 quest. V\'e have been greatly gratified at the way 

 in which our advertising friends have cooperated 

 with us to make this service valuable. Very prompt 

 attention from them is invariably the rule — so 

 prompt, in fact, that we have come to have a high 

 regard for the business methods of many of the 

 business organizations with whom we are thus 

 dealing. 



-^ 



When desired, this Bureau can'usually undertake 

 the purchase of goods through any dealer or manu- 

 facturer anywhere, no matter what may be re- 

 quired. We have facilities for knowing where cer- 

 tain articles (and our knowledge in this direction 

 is limited to no small line) can be most advanta- 

 geously procured; and it is a pleasure to transmit 

 our patron's order and remittance to the house he 

 may designate, or to some other reliable source of 

 supply.
