HONEY AND BEESWAX. 



We are now in the market, and will be during the 

 entire season, for all honey ottered us, in any quan- 

 tity, shape, or condition, .lust so it is pure. We will 

 sell on commission, charging 5 per cent; or if a sam- 

 ple is sent us, we will make the best cash offer the 

 general market will afford. We will handle bees- 

 wax the same way, and can furnish bee-men in 

 quantities, crude or refined, at lowest market prices. 

 Our junior member in this deparment, Mr. Jerome 

 Twichell, has full charge, which insures pi-ompt and 

 careful attention in all its details. 



Sample of comb honoy must be a full case, repre- 

 senting a fair average of the lot. On such sam- 

 ple we will make prompt returns, whether we buy 

 or not. CI^EinONS, CLOON & CO..
