Vises, Cast Iron, Wanted. 

 Now,fmy friends, if you wish a larger assortment 

 of goods, send to King, Briggs & Co., 596 Broadway, 

 New York. A great part of the goods I have men- 

 tioned is from their catalogue. Many of their goods, 

 I do not consider useful, and others are so poorly 

 made that I can do better elsewhere. What can you 

 make or produce that the rest of us need? 



Under this head will be inserted free of charge, 

 the names of all those having honey to sell, as well 

 as those wanting to buy. Please mention how 

 much, what kind, and prices, as far as possible. 

 As a general thing, 1 would not advise you to send 

 your honey away, to be sold on commission. If 

 near home, where you can look after it, it is often 

 a very good way. By all means, develop your home 

 market. For 25cts., we can furnish little boards 

 to hang up in yourdooryard, with the words ''Honey 

 for Sale" neatly painted. If wanted by mail, 10c. 

 extra for postage. Boards saying "Bees and Queens 

 for Sale," tame price. 



xtf- WILL sell Extracted Honey at 10c. per ft. by the 

 ? ; bbl. (Barrel $1.00) delivered at depot here. 

 5*t J. M. Marvin. 



St. Charles, Kane Co., 111., Dec. 26, 1879. 



Wanted,— About 200 or 300 lb. of No. 1, extracted 

 honej - ; also comb honey. I would prefer to buy of 

 some one near me on account of freight charges. 



Joel ItESSLER. 



Ypsilanti, Washtenaw Co., Mich., Deo. 17, '79. 



Wanted.— A few barrels of light Extracted Honey 

 at fair prices. D. S. Given. 



Hoopeston, Virmillion Co', 111., Nov. 27, ,79. 



Why don't you tell the truth at>out the Chicago 

 market? You quote honey 10 to 12c, when if you 

 double that you will be nearer the truth. The mar- 

 ket in < hicago is probably as good now as in New 

 York or St Louis, and commission men tire selling 

 best grades of honey at 20 to 22c. per pound. 



Marengo, III., Dec. 18, 1879. C. C. Miller. 



I3eg pardon, friend M. Our market reports 

 for Dec. were allowed to go out without re- 

 vising ; I have " scolded " all around about 

 it, and we are all going to do better now.

 9 to lie in large lots; small packages, in a retail way, 

 bring more.
