FIRE SALE

 ing, burning out entirely four floors above us. The 

 water that was thrown on the fire came down through

HONEY QUEENS

 200 strong nuclei that will winter over. I am prepared 

 to send you a queen any day you mav order. Tested 

 or untested queens, SI. (10. Leather "breeders, S2 50.
