Buyer's Bureau 



There is every indication that the several combi- 

 nation offers made in our new subscription cata- 

 log will bring a larger response from friends of 

 Gleanings than any offers before announced. 

 Some of these combinations are particularly at- 

 tractive, and are being eagerly grasped by friends 

 who are renewing their subscriptions, or who have 

 received a copy of the catalog by reason of some 

 former evidence of interest in bee-keeping for pleas- 

 ure or profit. 



The offer of Poultry Culture, a monthly magazine 

 on this great pursuit, edited by Reese V. Hicks, 

 President of The American Poultry Association, 

 with Gleanings one year, and one copy each of 

 Mr. Hicks practical book. "Tricks of the Poultry 

 Trade," and "The Townsend Bee-book," is so far 

 the best puller of all the combinations in our sub- 

 scription catalog. Whoever has seen either of the 

 handsome publications included in this offer, and 

 become acquainted with the character of their con- 

 tents, will readily realize that these two magazines, 

 with a book on poultry and a book on bees, all for 

 only SI. 50, is an offer that must not be turned down. 

 The growing interest In bees and poultry as an al- 

 liance from which a good living can be made, in- 

 duced us to work out some special combination for 

 our bee-keeping friends, and we are justly proud 

 since returns have proven our judgment did not go 

 amiss.

Readers of Gleanings who have written us dur- 

 ing the past few months for information on auto- 

 mobiles will appreciate the co-operation we are 

 now giving through the insertion of several auto- 

 mobile announcements in our advertising col- 

 umns. F"or three or lour issues back we have car- 

 ried the advertisment of The Cartercar Company, 

 Pontiac, Mich., manufacturers of a liigh-grade and 

 thoroughly reliable motor car which is in every 

 sense of the word " a practical car for busy bee- 

 keepers." In suggesting to all bee-keepers interest- 

 ed in the motor-car question that the Cartercar lit- 

 erature can be obtained for a careful reading, we 

 are acting upon the advice of Mr. Huber H. Root, 

 associate editor of Gleanings, who has driven a 

 car of this make for the past two years. He is most 

 enthusiastic over its performance. 



In this number The Overland Company, Toledo, 

 Ohio, announce their new five-passenger touring- 

 car at S900. Surely this is a worth-while bargain 

 for an automobile of the Overland quality. 



Any bee-keeper who has automobile inclinations 

 should nurse his desires through the winter, and 

 profit from the opportunity afforded to study up on 

 the motor-car question. We should be very glad to 

 answer any questions that may be asked on this 

 subject, and to send catalogs and other literature 

 to any of our friends who may request this service, 

 and who will address the Buyer's Bureau. 



"It was a striking cover." This has been the 

 unanimous opinion of our readers in commenting 

 upon our reproduction of the very fine photograph 

 of bees at work on brood-comb on our November 

 1st issue. We are going to try to present a number 

 of covers of this character during the next few 

 months, and shall be glad to know what our friends 

 think of them as they appear. Show some of these 

 late issues of Gleanings in its new dress to your 

 friends who keep bees, or who are interested in 

 knowing more of the habits of the busy little work- 

 ers, and you may be able to render us a valuable 

 service. Of course, you appreciate that each new 

 name added to our list contributes in a small way 

 to our ability to publish a better and more hand- 

 some magazine, and we hope that none of our read- 

 ers will overlook an opportunity to help, even if 

 the extent of their co-operation is only the speaking 

 of a kind word.
