Every Success Has 

 Its Reason. 



By the Bee Crank. 



I have been successful in the bee- 

 supply business, and I believe I know 

 why. 



First of all, I'm a practical bee- 

 man — I know the business from A 

 to Z. I'm as familiar with this sub- 

 ject as the worst bee crank you ever 

 saw. 



I'm pretty much of a 

 crank on bee culture my- 

 self. 



The business I've built 

 up is the result of eigh- 

 teen years of hustling — 

 313 days of hard work 

 every year, with close at- 

 tention to detail and care- 

 ful consideration of the 

 wants of my patrons. 



Some of my customers have been 

 dealing with me all of that eighteen 

 years— most of those who have ever 

 bought any thing from me are on my 

 list of permanent customers. 



This, I believe, is because the man 

 who sends me an order is never dis- 



appointed. "If Goods are Wanted 

 Quick, Send to Pouder." That's 

 good advice. Remember it. 



Of course my location has helped 

 me. I'm in the best shipping point 

 in the country, and can save you not 

 only time but MONEY on transpor- 

 tation charges. 



I sell Root's goods at 

 Root's prices. Can sup- 

 ply you . quickly with 

 the new metal-spac«d 

 Hoffman Frames, Danzen- 

 baker Hives, Dovetailed 

 Hives, Section Honey- 

 boxes, Weed -process 

 Comb Foundation, Honey 

 and Wax Extractors, 

 Bee-smokers, B e e-ve i 1 s, 

 Pouder Honey-jars, or any thing else 

 that a bee-keeper might require. 



Let me send you my new catalog — 

 it tells you as much as I could on 

 forty full pages like this — and it 

 won't cost you a cent, except for the 

 postal you use in writing for it.
