 chines, as well as the old-stock new machines offer-

 tiful supply of choice extracted, with a light de- 

 mand. We offer California wliite sage. Nevada al-

BEESWAX WANTED. 



We are still in want of beeswax, and expect to be 

 so as long as we are in business. We are paying 

 now 35c cash. 28c in trade, for average wax delivered 

 here. Be sure to put your name on the package, 

 and advise us, by mall, with shipping-receipt and 

 number of pound's shipped. Every few days we get 

 a shipment which it is very hard for us to identify, 

 because the shipper was too careless to take these 

 simple precautions^ 



MAPLE SUGAR AND SYRUP. 



We shall be pleased to hear from those interested 

 in maple sugar or syrup. We have shipped two tons 

 of sugar to New ^ork, and are prepaiing for ship- 

 ment another 3-tou lot. Our prices for choice first 

 grade are 9c; good or second grade, 8c; fair or third 

 grade, 8c; V^c less in .W-lb. lots; Ic less in 300-lb. lots. 

 Extra choice syrup, first run, 86c per gallon; lO-gal. 

 lots, 80c per gal.; 20 gallons or more, 75c per gallon. 

 Choice, not first run, 5c per gallon less; good qual- 

 ity, 10c less. 



CREAM SECTIONS. 



During the past month we have been making a 

 good many 2-inch sections for England. The cream 

 grade accumulated from these we have reduced in 

 width to 1%, in order to supply the demand for 

 cream sections of this width. A good many of 

 them, however, are open on all four sides. Where 

 we run sliort of tbe I's cream, regular open top and 

 bottom, we will send the four openings unless re- 

 quested not to do so in order They can be used in 

 almost every case where the regular section is used, 

 and we believe they will answer every purpose. We 

 have a good s-upply of cream sections in the fol- 

 lowing widths: 



Ip, 1?4, 2 and 4 openings, 7 to foot, and l}g; have 

 also' lot of white, 1>^ in. wide, all of which we otter 

 at $3.00 per 1000; 3000 at $1.90; .5000 at $1.75; 10,000 or 

 over, at $1.60. 



CARLOAD SHIPMENTS. 



We have for some time been shipping twotothree 

 carload shipments every week, in ;iddition to the 

 multitude of smaller shipments. Since our last 

 report we have shipped a car to W. K. Ball, Reno, 

 Nev.; a second car to our St. Paul Branch; a car to 

 our Northeastern branch at Mechanics Falls, Me. ; 

 a car containing 34 shipments to Salt Lake City, 

 Utah, with a good supply of goods which will be on 

 sale there by John H. Back, care Z. C. M. I.; a car- 

 load of half a million sections, and a few other 

 goods, to Fresno. Cal.; a carload to Buell Lamber- 

 son, Portland, Ore.; a third car to H. F. Hagen, 

 Rocky Ford, Colo.; a second car to Jos. Nysewander, 

 Des Moines, Iowa, and a car of sections, frames, 

 etc., for London, Eng., besides two cars of cracker- 

 boxes. We are preparing a car for Syracuse, N. Y. 



LOWER PRICES ON SECTIONS AND FOUNDATION. 



We call attention to the announcement on anoth- 

 er page, with the above heading. Other manufac- 

 turers, in their efforts to draw trade their way, 

 have found it necessary to reduce prices to a very 

 low point With our present facilities and stock of 

 lumber we can afford to work on a smaller margin, 

 and so reduce prices another 2.5c per KHIO on our 

 No 1 white extra polished sections, beginning May 

 1. A month ago we had over two million sections in 

 stock; we now have scarcely a million, and we made 

 over a million during the month of April. We sent 

 one car containing half a million to California, and 

 a good many more cars with smaller amounts to 

 other points. We are loading the third carload of 

 sections for export this season. Our output for 1895 

 was 25 per cent more than for any previous year, 

 and we believe that this year it will be still greater. 



The growing popularity of our sections is due to 

 their unsurpassed quality and workmanship. 



CUYAHOGA LAWN-MOWER. 



We are offering this mower for the first time this 

 season. We bought a few last season to give them 

 a trial, and found them so good a machine for the 

 money that we decided to list them this year in 

 place of the Globe, which we have carried for the 

 past five or six years. They are light, with open 

 reel and high wheel— a strong and durable ratchet, 

 very convenient setting-device for raising and low- 

 ering the roller for cutting long or close. Prices 

 are: 13-inch. $2.50; 14-inch, $2.75; 16-inch, $3.00; 18- 

 inch, $3 25. We still have a few of the Globe mow- 

 ers left in 10 and 13 inch size, which we offer at $3.25 

 for 10-inch and $2.50 for 13-inch. 



YOUNG AMERICA LAWN-.MOWERS. 



At the low price which we are making 

 on this machine to close out stock we are 



disposing of a good many of- 

 them. We have a good number left yet, which we 

 offer, while they last, at $1.35 for 10-inch; $1.50 for 

 13-inch. This is less than half what they cost us; 

 but we are determined to close them out. This is a 

 bargain which j'ou do not often find. No one who 

 wants a lawn-mower need be without one when it 

 can be had at such a price.

 Imported Italian mothers only are used, and for 

 industry, gentleness, and beauty, their bees are un- 

 surpassed. We have in our yard bushels of drones 

 from imported mothers and their daughters, and a 

 mismated queen is rare. No defective queens sent 

 out. Remember that we are in the far South, and 

 can send queens by return mail. Safe delivery.
