"Exacflly Right 



9> 



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 di fticulty quickly. 



But that is nothing com- 

 pared to the intolerable 

 exasperation of having to 

 suffer from the carelessness 

 of a firm with whom one 

 is dealing at long range, 

 when correspondence and 

 tedious delays must inter- 

 vene before things can be 

 straightened out. VV^hen 

 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 Brst 

 place than the crankiest customer on 

 my book is, I 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 Pouder. Tibbs, Miss 



Indianapolis. 

 Dear Sir.-— The live hives arrived promptly. 

 They are exactly what I have been looking 

 for. Yours truly, J. E Tibbs. 



I sell Roofs goods at 

 Root's prices. Can supply 

 you quickly with the new 

 metal-spaced Hoffman 

 Frames, Danzen baker 

 Hives, Dovetailed Hives, 

 Section Hone y-b o x e s, 

 Weed-process Comb-foun- 

 dation, Honey and Wax 

 Extractors, Bee-smokers, 

 Bee-veils, Pouder Honey- 

 jars, or any thing else that 

 a bee-keeper might require. 



Let me send you my new catalog — it 

 tells you as mvich as I could on forty 

 full pages like this — and it won't cost 

 you a cent, except for the postal 

 you U'je in writing for it. 



Walter S. Pouder
