Emerson Hit It. 



By the Bee Cra7ik. 



" If a man can write a better book, preach a better sermon, or make a bet- 

 ter mouse-trap than his neighbor, though he builds his house in the 

 woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door." — Emerson, 



Emerson was right. He 

 "hit the nail on the head." 



I never have made any 

 mouse-traps, but in the bee- 

 supply business where I be- 

 longl' veal ways tried 

 mighty hard to do 

 my work so that the 

 word "t etter" would 

 fittingly describe it. 



The world didn't 

 have to make any 

 path to my door— 

 plenty of paths were 

 already there, con- 

 necting me by ex- 

 press and fast 

 freight with every- 

 where. However, the world is 

 pretty well represented in my 

 clientele. Some bee-man in 

 every corner of the earth has 

 acquired the commendable 

 habit of buying supplies from 

 Pouder. 



Best goods, best service, and 

 best prices These are the 

 advantages I offer. 



I carry ready for immediate 

 shipment a full line of Root's 

 goods at Root's prices, and 

 save you time and money in 

 transportation.

 man Frames, Dan- 

 zenbaker Hives, Sec- 

 tion Honey-boxes, 

 Weed-process Comb 

 Foundation, Honey 

 and Wax Extractors, 

 Bee-smokers, Bee- 

 veils, and other 

 standard supplies. 



I allow you 30c a 

 pound in trade for 

 beeswax. Put your 

 name on package. Large ship- 

 ments by freight, small ones 

 by express.

 tracted honey in five-gallon
