 Your kindness and fair dealing are highly appreciat- 

 ed D. S. Tyler. 



Clio, Mich, Dec. 5, 1881.

Marathon City, Wis., Nov. 11, 1881. 



Under this head will be inserted, free of charge, the names of 

 all those having honey to sell, as well as those wanting to buy. 

 Please mention how much, what kind, and prices, as far as pos- 

 sible. As a general thing, I w ould not advise you to send your 

 honey away to be sold on commission. If near home, where 

 you can look after it, it is often a very good way. By all means, 

 develop your home market. For 2.5 cents we can furnish little 

 boards to hang up in your doorvara. with the words, "Honey 

 for Sale, " neatly painted. If wanted by mail. 10 cents extra for 

 postage. Boards saying ' ' Bees and Queens for Sale, ' ' same 

 p -ice.

 vice, free, friend T.]

Inclosed find $4.18. Please send me Gleanings for 

 1883, and one of the improved Waterbury watches. 

 The one I got of you last February keeps as correct 

 time as anv watch I ever owned; in fact, gives me 

 more pleasure than any watch I ever carried, for it 

 needs no medicine to keep it going. 



J. S. Tadlock. 



Kingsbury, Guad. Co., Texas, Nov. 21, 1881. 



That watch you sent me for the small sum of ten 

 dollars has puzzled the watch-dealers here. They 

 have been trying to compete with your prices, but 

 all have failed, and one of ray friends told them that 

 he would let me send to a bee-man out in Ohio and 

 get one. Therefore please send by first mall, on© 

 ten-dollar American watch. Wm. DeWortb, 



Bordentown, N. J., Dec. 5, 1881.
