THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



r 



If goods are wanted quick, send to Pouder. 



Established 1889. 



Ty the Bee Crank. 



It is not an easy matter to submit 

 patiently to the annoyance and in- 

 convenience caused by the mistakes 

 and carelessness of others, when the 

 means are at hand to remedy the 

 difficulty quickly. 



But that is nothing com- 

 pared to the intolerable 

 exasperation of having to 

 suffer from the careless- 

 ness of a firm with whom 

 one is dealing- at long 

 range, when correspon- 

 dence and tedious delays 

 must intervene before 

 things can be sti a'ght- 

 ened out. When mail- 

 order houses allow such 

 things— not once or tw:c3 

 that is the limit. 



The reason I am more cranky about 

 having things done right in the first 

 placa than th3 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 lette-'s as the following is an 

 every day occurrence: 



Walter S. Pouder, Tibbs, Miss. 



Indianapolis. 

 Dear Sir:— The five hives arrived promptly. 

 They are exactly what 1 have been looking for. 

 Yours Truly. J. E. Tiabs. 



but often 



I sell Root's goods at Root's 

 prices. Can supply you quickly with 

 the new metal-spaced 

 Hoffman Frames, Dan- 

 zenbaker Hives, Dove- 

 tailed Hives, Section Hon- 

 ey-boxes, Weed-process 

 Comb fonndation. Honey 

 and Wax Extractors, 

 Bee-Smokers, Bee-veils, 

 Pcv.der Honey jars, or 

 any thing else that a 

 bee-keeper might re- 

 require. 



Let me send you my new catalog — 

 it tells you as much as I could on forty 

 full pages like this— and it won't cost 

 you a cent, except for the postal you 

 use in writing for it. 



1 would like to figure right now with 

 honey producers about early ship- 

 ments of finest com.b and extracted 

 honey.
