AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL

Root's Column 



We are not quite ready yet to tell you 

 about our new g'oods and some of the 

 improvements we have made in certain 

 lines ; but when we are, we propose to 

 tell you something that will interest 

 you beyond a doubt : so 



keep your eyes on 

 a:a;a; this column ajxa; 



While our engravers are busy tinish- 

 ing certain cuts, we desire to call your 

 attention to 



Gleanings in Bee^Culture. X.XX-X 



If you haven't seen late numbers, 

 send for sample copies. Among other 

 things you will discover that it is 



An Illustrated 



Bee Journal- J^J?<lJ/c 



If you are a busy man, and haven't 

 time or inclination to read much, you 

 may pick up in Gleanings an idea that 

 will be worth dollars by once glancing 

 at a cut. 



During the coming j-ear we propose 

 to describe several different manipula- 

 tions pertaining to bee-keeping, by a 

 series of line cuts that will show you 

 just how it is done. 



XX:X Another Big Ollei-, XX:X 



In addition to our other offers in last 

 week's Bee Journal we propose to make 

 one more. 



Oueen^Bee Free.,. J?c 



To every one. either an old or new 

 subscriber, sending us $1.00 for Glean- 

 ings for one )'ear, we will send, some 

 time in July or August next, one UN- 

 TESTED ITALIAN QUEEN. 



COlNTIDITIOiTS : 



Old subscribers may take advantage of this 

 offer, PROVIDING that all back dues on sub- 

 scription, if any, be paid at the rate of Sl.OO per 

 year in addition to Sl.OO in .idvance for Glean- 

 ings and the queen. We reserve the right to 

 send queens in July or August in the order that 

 these subscriptions are received. First come, 

 first served. Again, as we are giving these 

 queens away free we cannot guarantee replacing 

 in case one dies in the mails. We will use our 

 best mailing-cage, and take everv precaution, 

 but cannot do more. So far as possible queens 

 will be reared in our own yards by the Doolittle 

 method; but if the demand for these queens is 

 too great we reserve the right to order from re- 

 liable breeders to help out. First orders received 

 will probably take queens of our own rearing. 



Remember that the $1.00 secures a year's sub- 

 scription to Gleanings and an Untested Italian 

 Queen, providing that all arrears, if any, are 

 paid. Send all orders to

How to Win Success in the Honey- 

 Selling Business. 



Query 88. — I am a young man desiring to 

 build up a demand for both comb and extracted 

 honey, with the view of following honey-selling 

 as a business. Briefly, what would you advise 

 that would tend to success in the line indicated? 

 —City. 



E. France — Honesty and push. 



Rev. M. Mahin — The question is too 

 big for this department. 



W. G. Larrabee — Alwaj'shavea first- 

 class unadulterated article. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — Energy and hon- 

 esty. They will win, SURE. 



C. H. Dibbern— Get out and hiistU-. 

 and don't be afraid of anj' one. ' 



G. M. Doolittle— That you supply 

 your customers with only the best. 



O. O. Poppleton — I have had too lit- 

 tle experience in this line to offer ad- 

 vice. 



J. A. Green — Sell only good honey, 

 at a price that will pay you for your 

 labor. 



Jas. A. Stone — Deliver true to sam- 

 ple ; give honest weights, and live up 

 to contract. 



P. H. Elwood — I haven't had much 

 retail experience. Produce a good arti- 

 cle, and distribute honey-leaflets. 



J. M. Hambaugh — Handle the pure 

 stuff, put up ill attractive and durable 

 shapes, and adi'ertisc, and work. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown— Read the arti- 

 cles on marketing honey in late num- 

 bers of the American Bee Journal. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — Representing 

 goods just as they are. Buy or .sell no 

 faced goods ; do an honest business. 



Chas. Dadant & Son — Take samples 

 and sell from these in all sizes of pack- 

 ages. A quick mind and a glib tongue 

 are useful. 



Eugene Secor — I advise the same 

 methods that make success in any other 

 line of business — integrity, energy, 

 perseverance. 



Emerson T. Abbott — Attend strictly 

 to business ; do not talk politics or re- 

 ligion ; handle only first-class goods ; 

 deal fairly ; and stick to it. 



E. S. Eovesy — Honest}' is the best 

 policy. Try to carry the best goods, 

 and give the producer and consumer a 

 square deal, and j'our success will be 

 assured. 



A. F. Brown — Get started, and keep 

 at it, advertising your business, never 

 tiring of .setting forth the merits of 

 honey as an article of food. Briefly, 

 PUSH is the word. 



R. L. Taj'lor -Eearn to know the 

 quality of honey, how to handle and 

 take care of it, and the tastes of your 

 customers. Deal fairly, be active and 

 indomitably persistent. 



S. T. Pettit— Be candid, punctual, 

 prompt and obliging, but not subser- 

 vient. Keep your place of business 

 very clean. Handle nothing but pure
