Kind Words from our Customers. 



The Vesuvius smoker I received from you is a dan- 

 dy. Best I )iave ever used. Geo. H. Mohler. 

 Holmes, Pa. 



I have transferred some of tny bees into iny new 

 hives. I am very much pleased with them. They are 

 just as I wanted in every respect. It I had been at 

 your factory I could not" have been better suited. I 

 compliment you very much in interpreting one's 

 wants. ' H G. Blaynev.

T. B. TERRY TELLS US HOW MUCH IT IS WORTH TO 



H.WE A CHEAP FOUNT.AIN PUMP ON THE 



PREMISES IN TIME OF FIRE. 



It must be Iti or 18 years ago that I bought a little 

 brass hand force pump of you to clean carrirges with, 

 and to have to use in case of fire, vpith a pail of water. 

 It has al-^aj-s been kept hanging just where it was 

 handy to get at. When lightning struck our barn last 

 summer, and the roof was liurning right over a mow 

 of hay, seconds were precious. Willi scarcely an in- 

 stant's delay, Robert got the pump, and my man two 

 pails of water from the tank in the barn, and they 

 had a stream of water playing on the fire from a lad- 

 der beneath. It was a close call to a heavy los.s; but 

 the little tool used in time saved a thousand times its 

 cost. It speaks well for the qiialil}- of the goods you 

 send out. The pump seems yet as good as ever. 



Hudson, O. T. B. Terry. 



A SPECIALLY KIND WORD, AND ONE THAT MAY' BE 

 needed BY SOME OF OUR " LORDS OF CREATION." 



The following brief letter, as j'ou will see by the 

 date, was written over two years ago. In that Home 

 Paper I described a separation of husband and wife 

 that started about so simple a matter as a pen and ink 

 that could not be found when the husband was in a 

 great hurry. 



Mr. Root:— I do not know that I have a right to 

 speak in meeting, because I am not a subscriber to 

 Gle.\nings; but I have a very good friend who is, and 

 I always read what A. I. Root has to say; and as this 

 gentleman (every one will admit that no greater com- 

 pliment than this appellation can be paid him) tries to 

 reign over his kingdom with true love and equity, 

 that "pen and ink," in the last .issue, is suggestive. 

 The king is supposed to be as far-seeing as his sub- 

 jects, hence he must know where that ' pen and ink " 

 js kept. Here the habit of calling upon some one to 

 wait upon him comes to light. 



Now we will pass from this kindly king to others 

 who are narrow and cruel. Many men in their busi- 

 ness and social relations often cringe to others; but 

 when these same men enter their own homes they 

 don the regal crown, and at a wave of the .scepter the 

 weary wife climbs the stairs from cellar to garret, ran- 

 sacks house and barn, to lay some trivial thing at the 

 feet of the monarch. 



Corollary: A true king will wait upon himself. He 

 will never call upon his loved ones to be his vasssals.
