SPECIAL BARGAINS. 



In looking- over our stock we find the following- 

 lot of old-style honey-packages, which we offer at 

 these very low prices simply because they are rem- 

 nants of stock that we should like to dispose of : 



Eleven 50-lb. round tin cans with handles and 1*4- 

 inch screw caps. Old price 50c. Will sell for 30c. 



Nineteen 100-lb. round tin cans, with handles and 

 154-inch screw-caps. Old price jfl.OO; will sell .for 

 60e each. 



Seven 100-lb. cans as above, with a rim added to 

 bottom; also an extractor honey-gate; very handy 

 for retailing from. Old price $1.75; will sell for 

 $1.50. Japanned and lettered "Pure Honey," 50e 

 extra. mK 



"Iron-Jacket" Honey Cans. 



These are wh;it we used to sell and recommend 

 before we began to use the square cans. They are 

 strong, and don't need to be boxed to ship when 

 full. We have some of the 3 smaller sizes, which 

 we offer as follows: 



15 1-gal. cans, old price, 25c; will sell for 20c 



•'57 2 ' 38 " " " 30 



34 3 ' 47 " " " 40 



If you take the whole lot of any one size of any of 

 above cans, you may deduct 5 per cent. If you 

 take the whole of 3 or more sizes, 10 per cent may 

 be deducted. A. I. ROOT, Medina, O.

For Sale Cheap. - 



4 H. P. Engine and Boiler, Complete, $180. 



B. W. Payne & Sons Eureka Safety Power. 



Almost new. Now at Higginsville, Mo. Who 

 wants this bargain? 



We have also to sell at a bargain a 1 H. P. Ship- 

 man coal-oil engine. It was a second-hand which 

 we sent to the factory and had made over new. Is 

 now as good as a new engine. We offer it for $80. 

 For any one who wants only a small power it is a 

 bargain. Price of a new one I believe is f 125.00.

KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



I received the queens in fine condition, not a dead 

 bee in either cage. G. W. Camp. 



Armona, Cal., July 10, 1889. 



The honey tumblers you sent me were received 

 with but one cracked in the barrel. I am well 

 pleased with them. A. L. Kildow. 



Sheffield, 111., July 8, 1889. 



The bees arrived yesterday in good condition. I 

 am much pleased with them. The queen is a good 

 looker. If she will raise bees like those sent with 

 her she is all right. D. H. Zepp. 



Nokomis, 111., July 26, 1889. 



GOOD ADVERTISING. 



Please do not insert my advertisement in your 

 issue for Aug. 1, as I directed, for I am getting be- 

 hind on orders. It will take me until about Aug. 

 8th to catch up with orders. J. P. Moore. 



Morgan, Ky., July 22, 1889. 



[No wonder, friend M., when you send out such 

 nice queens.] 



The bill of goods, shipping-bill, and remittance, 

 reached us in good order last Monday. The bee- 

 hat and veil, as well as some other conveniences, 

 went immediately into service, and are just right. 

 Even this "glorious Fourth " is made brighter by 

 the hammock. W11. A. Adams. 



Eaton Rapids, Mich., July 4, 1889. 



The extractor I ordered of you, which was ship- 

 ped July 2, I received in good order. It has been 

 thoroughly tested. I don't see where you can make 

 any improvement in it. We think it a model of 

 perfection. I much prefer your gearing to any up- 

 right gearing I ever saw. F. M. Peck. 



Spring Green, Wis., July 31, 1889. 



You requested us to renew if we had found 

 Gleanings a good investment. We have found it 

 so, and should not like to be without it, as we are 

 beginners in bee-keeping, and have found many ar- 

 ticles which have helped us in our work with the 

 bees. We started this spring with 4 colonies; they 

 have increased to 10. From one frame of brood, y 2 

 lb. of bees, and untested queens received from you 

 July 28, 1888, we have now 3 strong colonies, which 

 are the best workers we have. The season so far has 

 been too wet for much honey; but the weather is 

 drier now, and we may have a good fall How. We 

 wish Gleanings success, as a journal of it9 kind 

 should have. Rurk Brothers.
