THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



think that the consumption of honey will 

 increase until a good article is put on the 

 market almost universally. 



Three years ago I extracted a lot of 

 choice clover honey which 1 supposed 

 was thoroughly ripe, and I wanted to get 

 it out of the hives before it should become 

 mixed with the dark fall honey. This 

 honey was put into cans and pails very 

 soon after it was extracted, and sold. 

 Later in the fall 1 was trying to sell some 

 more honey to a man to whom 1 had 

 sold some of this choice early honey, and 

 he objected very strongly, saying that 

 the other honey that 1 had recommended 

 to him so highly had fermented, so that 

 he had to throw it out, and he had made 

 up his mind after this that he would buy 

 comb honey. This is where I got my 

 first intimation of what it means to pro- 

 duce real good honey. Some of that 

 nice clover honey that I had in the house 

 I noticed was changing rapidly, and it 

 soon spoiled. 1 now know that 1 can 

 produce good extracted honey, and 1 

 know that the whole bee keeping fra- 

 ternity can do it. The people will then 

 consume our product without complaint.

PAPER CUTTER 



FOR SALE 



The Review printing office, and another offica in 

 town, have joined forces, and, as a result there is a 

 nearly new. Peerless Gem, 25-inch, paper cutter 

 for sale. 



The frame is strong and heavy and well-braced, 

 the knife thick and deep, yet it is the easiest work- 

 ing cutter that 1 ever used. The lever is adjustable, 

 returning from the cut with the least possible exer- 

 tion, owing to the perfect balance; there are side 

 gauges and front and back enameled measuring 

 gauges. 



We pa!d $1 05 spot cash for it only a few months 

 ago, it has always been used carefully, and could 

 scarcely be distinguished from a new machine; in 

 fact, is really worth just as much as a new cutter, 

 yet we would be glad to sell it for only $80.

Keeping a copy of every letter sent cut is a 

 necessity with any extensive business— it saves 

 endless disputes and many dollars. The most 

 common method is that of using a copying book, 

 dampening the leaves, laying in the letters to be 

 copied, and applying pressure with a screw-press. 



In a trade recently made, 1 have come into pos- 

 session of a letter copying- press, size 9x11 inches. 

 As 1 already had such a press 1 don't need this one. 

 1 inquired at our stationer's, and find that the price 

 of such a press is $8.40 This press of mine is 

 exactly as good as new, but 1 would be glad to sell 

 it for $5.00.
