Buyer's Bureau 



The advantages to be gained from a careful study 

 of the advertisements in this issue are manifold. 

 The publishers, well appreciating the requirements 

 of our numerous readers, strive very hard to induce 

 reputable concerns in every line to make their 

 oflferings direct to you through these columns. 

 These advertisers are placing before you their 

 products .after most careful consideration of your 

 interests. Their announcements are interesting 

 and valuable, and you can well afford to read them 

 over several times. If any of the products appeal 

 to you, write to the advertiser and give him the 

 opportunity to tell you more about what he has to 

 offer: or yon may address the P.uyer's Bureau, and 

 any article in which you may be interested will be 

 investigated, whether advertised in this issue or 

 not. He sure to read the advertising pages. 



Thankful expressions come from many of our 

 readers who have discovered just what service this 

 department is prepared to give. There are quite a 

 few letters nowadays which begin, "I notice that 

 you are offering to help readers of Gleanings who 

 want to buy from your advertisers. This service 

 will be very helijful to me. Won't you kindly tell 

 what you think of , etc.?" 



Letters similar to this show that our readers are 

 interested in almost every class of goods. Some of 

 our friends want to know about farm machinery, 

 others about furniture or automobiles, and still 

 others about poultry, incubators, and other arti- 

 cles. As the call for our service grows, our oppor- 

 tunity to help prospective buyers is broadened. 

 We keep careful record of the information we 

 obtain for each inquirer, and our Buyer's Bureau 

 is accumulating a mass of detail which makes pos- 

 sible quick and satisfactory service. 



One of the most interesting booklets we have 

 ever published is a subscription catalog for the 

 benefit of our friends who read Gleanings, and for 

 bee-keepers everywhere who are not reaping the 

 benefits to be gained through reading this journal 

 regularly. This catalog is entitled "Money-saving 

 Combinations on Books, Magazines, and Useful 

 Articles with Gleanings in Bee Culture." It is a 

 booklet of 16 pages, and its greatest usefulness con- 

 sists in the fact that it will help yovi to save money. 

 There are several entirely new combination or 

 clubbing offers in this booklet. You will certainly 

 want to acquaint yourself with this offering before 

 renewing your subscription to Gleanings or to 

 any other magazine. A copy of our premium cat- 

 alog will be mailed to you and to each of your 

 friends, if so desired, upon request. 



.lust here it would be well to remind our readers 

 that the publishers of Gleanings are prepared to 

 handle subscription orders for any newspaper, 

 trade journal, or magazine published in the world. 

 N'ery often we can save you money on orders sent 

 through us. 



It is pleasing ineeed to note how carefully some 

 of our readers plan for their own betterment. We 

 are particularly reminded that a majority of our 

 friends are progressive, and alert to their own best 

 interests, through the receipt of the following letter 

 just a few days ago: 



I am enclosins- check for 83.85— $2.85 to pay my back sub- 

 scription to Gleanings, and to pay also for T. B. Terry's book, 

 " How to Keep Well and Live Long." The $1.00 is to pay my 

 yearly subscription to Gleanings and also for the Townsend 

 Bee-book, as per your clubbing- offer. This will g^ive me some 

 interesting' as well as profitable leading for the winter 

 months. 



That our subscriber will benefit from reading 

 this journal with its many features, and the Terry 

 and Townsend books, there can not be the slightest 

 question. Man.v others would do well to follow his 

 example, and arrange for " interesting and profit- 

 able reading for the winter months." How does 

 your subscription stand ? 



THINK what it 

 means to be 

 able to take down 

 the receiver and 

 talk to your friends, 

 to pet market and 

 weather reports, to rush a, repair 

 part lor a broken machine from 

 the nearest dealer. You can get 

 your corn to town when the price 

 is riprlit. You can call the doc- 

 tor instantly in case of sudden ^ 

 illness or accident. You can 

 order supplies that you need in a 

 hurry. You can avoid loss of crops 

 by storm. Makes every day longer 

 with more money earned.
