exhibits. The use of the honey was 

 contributed by different members of the 

 Association, it coming from 15 different 

 States and five foreign countries. After 

 the show was over, the honey was re- 

 turned to the owners, the Association 

 paying transportation both ways. 



"The accompanying ilkistration shows 

 eveo'thing so clearly, that little remains 

 to be said; unless it might be to say that 

 the pyramid is eight feet square at the 

 base, 12 feet in height, and is surmount- 

 ed by a tall bottle of honey like those 

 shown at the corners, near the base. 



"It is probable that the advertising 

 value of the exhibit inight have been 

 enhanced by following the course of the 

 other exhibitors, viz., by giving away 

 tastes of honey on dainty crackers, or 

 in some such manner, also by selling 

 dime packages ; but the manner in which 



name of the Arnd Honey & Bee-Sup- 

 ply Co., as we have always tried to 

 give heretofore, under the name of the 

 York Honey & Bee-Supply Co. 



Thanking you for j'our many kind- 

 nesses, both in our business and personal 

 relations, I am 



Yours very sincerely, 

 Arnd Honey & Bee-Supply Co. 

 H. M. Arnd, Proprietor. 



We wish the Arnd Honey & Bee-Sup- 

 ply Co. every possible success — and to 

 all of our other advertisers the same. 

 While the past honey season or two 

 have been somewhat discouraging all 

 around, we must all push ahead for final 

 success. 



Complete 1907 Volume for 50 Cents 



We find on assembling the copies of 



first session beginning at 7 :30 p. m. on 

 the 2ist. Ex-President Aspinwall of the 

 National Bee-Keepers' Association has 

 promised to be present and talk on his 

 non-swarming hive. It is expected that 

 a number of Canadian leaders in bee- 

 keeping will be present, among them be- 

 ing F. J. Miller and H. G. Sibbald, 

 President and Ex-President, respectively, 

 of the Ontario Association. Mr. Sibbald 

 will speak on wax-extracting, and will 

 also have something valuable to show 

 in the way of wax-extracting. Not only 

 Canadian bee-keepers but also those in 

 the United States, who can do so, are 

 cordially invited to attend this conven- 

 tion. The New American Hotel offers 

 good accommodations at $1.50 per day.

We are indebted to the Review for 

 the use of the two engravings herewith, 

 as well as for the interesting descrip- 

 tion of the same. 



Amd Honey & Bee Supply Co. 



We have received the following which 

 is self-explanatory : 

 Editor American Bee Journal : — • 



In as much as the time for which we 

 were allowed the use of the "York" 

 name has almost expired, we have de- 

 cided that it will be best to make the 

 change now, and have our name appear 

 from this time, as the "Arnd Honey & 

 Bee-Supply Co.. successors to the York 

 Honey & Bee-Supply Co." 



Our advertisement in the American 

 Bee-Journal has been a great help to 

 us, and we hope to carry it there for 

 many years to come. We also hope that 

 the bee-keepers throughout the country 

 will feel assured that we will give them 

 the same honorable treatment under the 



the American Bee Journal for 1907 that 

 we have quite a few complete volumes 

 left. The first half of 1907, as most of 

 our readers know, the American Bee 

 Journal was issued weekly, and during 

 the last half, once a month. This would 

 make the complete volume for 1907 con- 

 sist of 32 copies. Although the first 

 half of the year the price was 50 cents, 

 (as the yearly price then was $1.00), 

 we will mail the complete set (32 cop- 

 ies) for only 50 cents, w-hich is now the 

 regular yearly subscription price of the 

 American Bee Journal. 



If any desire to have the volume for 

 1907 in connection with that of 1908, 

 we will send the two volumes for 90c. 

 We would suggest that those who wish 

 to have the complete volume for 1907, 

 should order very soon, so as to be sure 

 to get it before all are gone.
