1907 GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 1481 



( \ 



THE OPINION OF A FACTORY SUPERINTENDENT. 



It is often noticed by ourselves and our discriminating advertising friends that Gleanings is 

 held in peculiar esteem by thousands of men and women all over the country. A well-known advertis- 

 ing man who places many of the largest accounts in the country, in speaking of some exceptional 

 results secured by a patron of our advertising columqs, said he accounted for these results in many 

 ca^es coming to his notice by the unbounded confidence of the subscribers in our senior editor, and the 

 bond of sympathy between him and our subscribers. 



Mr. Hess, whose letter appears below, is only one of the many of this class:

The A. I. Root Co., 



Merilna, Ohio. 



Dear Sire ; 



I hav9 received no''- ire that my subscription to GLEAKIKCf 

 has expired. EncloBed please find check for Jl.OO for whl-'h continue 

 the paper. I am not a isee man in any sense of the word, but inPtea- 

 am a memufacturing Buperlntondent, but Intereeted in b^es, bee people, 

 and things pertaining thereto, simply because I like the whole prop- 

 osition. I am, however, deeply intereeted in poultry sto^k and am 

 planning to have a thorough bred poultry riant in operation in the 

 near future. It will be an up to date affair when I get it in oper- 

 ation and yo'J and your people will likely hear more of it from me 

 tnrough GLEASIKGS. 



I llko A. I. Root's make up so Tuch that I want to keep 

 in touch with all he says and docs. What he T^rltos in the July 

 lat number appeals to me stronrly. In fact, there is a strong 

 chord of sympathy between A. I. and myself. He ma^res me laugh some- 

 times, at hie unique manner of confessing his short comings and at 

 others I feel so deeply the force -^f his words, that I am touched. 

 So send the paper along to the same a'^dreao, until address is changed 

 by reauest, as it may bo in the near future. I almost feel like pafs- 

 Ing a word of cheer alor.g to the old brother, by saying he reminds 

 me of what I read of John the Baptist, in "The Prince of the House 

 of David". I wao much amused at the outcome of tho "Owl and Eat" prop- 

 osition the rural friend purposed upon handy old Brother A. I. I 

 saw his finish before he had talked long into the matter. 



Long live A. I. Root! Long live Gleanings!
