O. I,. Hershiser. 



The Best Bee-keepers use it. 



Mr. Hershiser, manager of the New 

 York State apiarian exhibits at the Co- 

 lumbian Exposition, 1893, where he won 

 credit for himself and State by his mag- 

 nificent display of comb honey, was se- 

 lected as superintendent of the apiarian 

 exhibits at the Pan-American Exposition. 

 Being an up-to-date bee-keeper, and hav- 

 ing a keen interest in the latest api- 

 cultural appliances, he installed a trial 

 apiary of 10 colonies of working bees, 

 mostly Italians, but with some hybrids, 

 and one colony of black bees. The last 

 named made the best record, storing iii 

 pounds in a Dauzeubaker hive. 



The Texas Honey Producers' Associa- 

 tion has this day endorsed the 4x5 section 

 super, and favor the Danz, style with H. 

 S. separators. We feel sure we will have 

 orders for you of from 1500 to 2000 Danz.

The great popularitv of the Daiii- hive has brought the 

 shallow frame into prominence. It must df remembered 

 that no other contains the essential points of the Danz.

W. Z. Hutchinson. 



The Choice of an Expert. 



Mr. Hutchinson. Judge of Apiarian Ex- 

 hibits at the Pan-.4inerican Exposition, 

 editor of the Bee-h'eepeis' Rfvieiu., and an 

 enthusiastic and thoroughly posted bee- 

 keeper, was, without doubt, the most 

 capable man who could be selected judge 

 of any thing pertaining to apiculture. 

 His decisions are given greater value be- 

 cause he is fitted to speak from both 

 scientific and practical standpoints. 



The Danzenbaker Hive will, I think, 

 take precedence over all others. 1 am 

 delighted with it, as it is .simple and eas- 

 ilv manipulated. R. H. Pepworth.

The Best Comb-Honey Hive. 



I am verv very much pleased that you 

 are willing that'I should recommend the 

 Danzenbaker Hive. I have had a great 

 many inquiries about it, and have not 

 felt at liberty to recommend it over our 

 rcular hives. At first I was prejudiced 

 against it, but the sales have increased 

 without recommendations, and wherever 

 I have sold they have bou£tlU again and 

 praised the hive with extravagant claims, 

 and I am forced to the conclusion that it 

 is the BEST COMB-HONEY HIVE on 

 the market. J. B. Mason,
