ENCOURAGING REPORTS. ter and had called to buy more, and 



am glad that we were able to fit him 

 The following selections from our Qyj ■^{tYi a new lot. 



orrespondence should prove of in- 

 erest to advertisers who desire to 

 xpand their trade during the coming 

 ear. The only way to develop a 

 rofitable business, these days, is to 



good advertising and back up 

 ood advertising with good stock, 

 'here is certainly no advertising me- 

 ium in the field which can give its 

 atrons better value than The Amer- 

 :an Bee-Keeper. We have received 

 undreds of favorable letters from our 

 dvertisers, and the writer knows of 

 ut one single complaint; and this 

 ame from a twenty-five cent adver- 

 ?ement, mserted once. It is stated 

 y this patron that he received only 

 .venty cents as a result of this pub- 

 city campaign. 



It is hard to sell anything that the 

 ublic don't want; but if anj^ reader of 



he Bee-Keeper has a commodity to 

 fifer which will appeal to bee-keep- 

 rs, he will find no medium through 



hich greater results may be secured 



1 proportion to the investment, than 

 he American Bee-Keeper; and con- 

 tant advertising is the very back- 

 one of business success. 



The Bee-Keeper, next month, will 

 tart upon its fifteenth year, and in 

 ddition to assisting bee-keepers to 

 le greatest possible extent through 

 s columns of text and pictures, it 

 ffers also to help them through its 

 dvertising columns, at reasonable 

 ites, to develop active business in 

 ales. 



The Bee-Keeper circulates in ev- 

 ry civilized country on earth: 



Fraternally yours,

 Gentlemen: — I sent for a sample 

 copy of The American Bee-Keeper, 

 which was duly received. I notice 

 under the heading, "Bees Our 

 Theme," "'This journal cuts out 'kin- 

 dred topics," 'home departments,' and 

 all other side shows. We are running 

 a bee journal solely and exclusively." 

 Hence my subscription. You ought 

 to print this motto in good big letters 

 on the title page. For one, I do not 

 care for politics, religion, baseball and 

 bees all out of one paper. 



Respectfully yours, 



L. S. Chapman.
