"Exaaiy Right" 



By the Bee Crank. 



It is not an easy matter to submit 

 patiently to the annoyance and 

 inconvenience caused by the mis- 

 takes and carelessness of others, 

 when the means are at hand to 

 remedy the difficulty quickly. 



But that is nothing com- 

 pared to the intolerable 

 exasperation of having to 

 suffer from the carelessness 

 of a firm with w^hom one 

 is dealing at long range, 

 when correspondence and 

 tedious delays must inter- 

 vene before things can be 

 straightened out. When 

 mail - order houses allow 

 such things — not once or 

 twice, but often -that is the limit. 



The reason I am more cranky about 

 having things done right in the first 

 place than the crankiest customer on 

 my book is, 1 put myself in his place. 

 Kicks are a rare thing from my cus- 



tomers. On the contrary, the receipt 



of such letters as the following is an 



every-day occurrence : 



Walter S. Poudbr, Tibbs, Miss. 



Indianapolis. 

 Dear .S7r.'— The five hives arrived promptly. 

 They are exactly what I have been looking 

 for. Yours truly, J. E Tibbs. 



I sell Root's goods at 

 Root's prices. Can supply 

 you quickly with the new 

 metal-spaced Hoffman 

 Frames, Danzenbaker 

 Hives, Dovetailed Hives, 

 Section Hone y-b o x e s, 

 Weed-process Comb-foun- 

 dation, Honey and Wax 

 Extractors, Bee-smokers, 

 Bee-veils, Ponder 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. 



Walter S. Pouder
