MY QUEENS GIVE SATISFACTION 



MARKHAM. ONT., Oct. 15. 1015. 

 MR. H. D. MURRY, Mathis, Texas. 



Diuir Mr. A/ur/y:— As I have used quite a number of your queens during the last three 

 seasons, I thought you might be interested to know how they have turned out. They have 

 given universally good satisfaction, and in only three or four cases in this time have any 

 of the queens shown to be defective. In each case, such queens were promptly replaced, 

 while the queens have given satisfaction, that is only one factor that pleases me in my 

 dealing during all the time I have had business connections with you. promptness in answer- 

 ing letters, and other factors that go to make even the ordinary routine of business a pleas- 

 ure has always been in evidence. While I feel that I can confidently recommend your 

 queens as being satisfactory in every way. I certainly can also assure your prospective cus- 

 tomers that they can be sure of a " square deal " every time they do business with you. 



Sincerely yours. J. L. BYER. 



Mr. Byer was for two years President of the Ontario Beekeepers' Association, and is a 

 regular contributor to the columnsof the bee papers; hence, well and favorably known to 

 the readers of this Journal. I have many similar testimonials to themeritsof my stock 

 from all parts of the Unted States and Canada. Please write me your wants for the coming 

 season in the way of queens, nuclei and bees by the pound, and I will be glad to make ar- 

 rangements in advance of the rush to give you prompt and satisfactory service.
