All queens bred from very oest imported stock 



This is his advertisement August 15. 



Lebanon, Pa., 



Sept. 11, 1907. 



I have had a wonderful demand for 

 queens ever since my q.uarter-paga ad- 

 vertisement appeared in GLEANINGS, 

 August 15th. Since that date I have 

 received orders for over a thousand 

 queens. I am still unahle to fill 

 all orders. 



very truly yours, 



Snyder Apiaries. 



The above is what he says. 



Our purpose in giving the above is to bring to your attention the value of our columns in bring- 

 ing quick results. We do not expect such a wonderful result can be obtained every t:me; we do not 

 claim impossibilities, but the above is an example of the satisfactory service we give to our readers and 

 advertisers through these columns. 



To the advertiser of products suitable for bee-keepers and their families, the above should be 

 convincing evidence of the desirability of securing space in our columns. 



It should be borne in mind when making inquiries or sending in orders, that, unless we already 

 have an acquaintance with you, we require evidence that you are in position to handle satisfactorily 

 trade resulting from advertising in these columns. 



It isn t entirely because we have a circulation of 35 000 copies per issue that advertisers secure 

 such results. The circulatioQ is of no value unless it reaches a good class of peopl •. We are proud of 

 our readers and know that in a large measure results are secured because our readers are of the buying 

 and trustworthy class, and, furthermore, that they have implicit confidence in what is advertised in 

 our columns. 



Although I am not a bee-keeper and prohahly do not see a hive once in three 

 months, nor do I know enough about bees to read understandingly all the articles 

 which appear in GLEANINGS, there is something about the tone of your publication 

 which makes me want to read the next month's issue. R. A. Reed. 



Manager Seaboard Publishing Co. , Norfolk, Va. 



Mr. Reid's letter is a sample of hundreds received in our office expressing their appreciation of 

 Gleanings. It naturally follows that such a list makes an army of first-class buyers. What have you 

 to sell to uur readers 'i
