 Established 188Q 



In Love witH tHe 

 Hoosier Queen. 



By the Bee Crank. 



Soimds roman- 

 tic, (Joesn't it ? 



Mr. Whitney 

 says that $250.00 

 would not be a 

 queen's ransom. 



Why? 



Because she's a 

 good queen. 



She came from 

 Pouder. 



Here's the letter Mr. Whitney wrote 

 to the "Bee Crank" : 



Wolcottville. Ind., 

 Walter S. Pouder, July 16, 1907. 



Indianapolis, Ind. 

 Dear Sir : — The Hoosier-Italian queen 

 (named Evelyn) has her family in the second 

 story, and her young bees are heauties. 

 Wish I had ten colonies like hers. Two hun- 

 dred and lifty dollars would be no tempta- 

 tion to me. Fraternally yours, 



E. N. Whitney. 



That's the kind of letters I get 

 from my pleased customers all over 

 the world. 



Sometimes they come from men 

 who have bought queens of me. 



Sometimes from men who ordered 

 supplies and wanted them in a hurry. 



Sometimes from men who noticed 

 that Pouder's goods always arrived 

 in good condition. 



Sometimes from men who sent me 

 beeswax. 



No use talking, it pays to deal with 

 the "bee crank" if you want goods 

 quick, or if you want goods that give 

 satisfaction after they come "quick." 



Remember I sell Root's goods at 

 Root prices, and save you money on 

 transportation charges, and save you 

 time. 



And don't forget that I pay high- 

 est market price for beeswax.
