Dear Sir : Ainboy. Ills., Sept. 6th, '75. 



The roiin<lation Combs vou sent me were rec'd 

 all right. I at once experimenter) with them. Ex- 

 tracted honey from one in three daj's after placing it 

 Jh the Jiives. They are just the thinj; so long needed 

 and (;an be used for almost every purpose and way 

 aljout the hive.

 erfectly satisfactory. Tliis lot I 



Dear Skr: 

 The Cornbs are pe 

 put into 19 Langstroth frames and put in iipper and 

 lower stories both, between full combs iu various 

 hives. Some combs were wet with sweetened water, 

 some were not, it made no difference. Some of them 

 are fuU of honey cells lengthened out and partly 

 sealed. Signed, Yours resp'y, E. C. Neweli„ 



Dear Sir : Si. JolmsvUle, May ISih, '75. 



In a hive that was about ready to need combs I 

 ]nit a large frame containing half a dozen small ones, 

 small ones .'JxG sfjuare. in lialf of them I put pieces ol 

 Foundations, in the other half I put a guide of wax 

 across the top one-fourth inch in width. Bees have 

 <»nimonced on both alike; cells in Foundations half 

 aaiinch deep; some honey but no eggs yet. A great 

 many will want a small quantity at first. If I could 

 see you I think I could make some valuable augges- 

 tions. Yours, M. QuiNsr. 



Dear Sir : Colerain, Masts., Aug. IGth, '75. 



Mr. Lansrstroth sent me some days ago part of 

 sample of your Foundations which I placed in a colony 

 and fed them, (as the bees are getting no honey) I 

 would sav that we were well pleased with the way the 

 bees lensthened out the cells. Wm. W. Gary, Sr. 



Dear Sir : Greenfield, J/as.?., Sept. ISfh, '75. 



Those specimens of Comb Foundations were put, 

 as I informed -^'ou they would be, into the h.ands of oth- 

 ers for experiment, as 1 have no bees. Mr. Cary who 

 is an exv>ert showed me combs very beautifully fin- 

 ished from a Foundation. 



Yours very truly, Ls L. LiANGSTKOTii. 



Dear Sir : CJirisffansburcf. Va, 



I am much pleased with the get un of those Foun- 

 dations, and know from expei-ience that they will an- 

 swer a good purpose. Kesp'y, J. K, Gardnek. 



De.\r Sir:— My experience with your Foundations* 

 this year is but a repetition of last years'. I can only 

 say with Mrs. Tuiiper, '•^thcii are as perfect «.s can be." 

 I have noted the objections of Mr. Quinby, and as 

 proof positive of his error send you a complete comb, 

 filled and sealed. 



Your friend, Aarox Fexxingtd.v. 



Dear Sir: Monroe, X. Y., Sept.Ufh. '75. 



Enclosed you will find P. O. order for $5., in return 

 )dease send me by express five pounds of your artificial 

 Comb Foundations. The onlv objection f have seen 

 made to these Foundations is that the centers will be 

 "thick and tough ;" this to me is a reeomnjendation, 

 and I thhik will enable me to ship honey in the comb 

 with more safetv, the combs being less brittle. 



Respectfully, Thomas Sharron. 



Dear Sir : Bcn-odino, JT. Y.. Sept. ISfh, '75, 



Your card i.? at hand. Would say that owing to 

 the delay caused by the money not leaving this oflicc 

 I did not receive the Foundations imtil our honey har- 

 vest was all over. I filled six lioxes with them and in 

 seven days had them filled and capped over.
