 satisfied. 1 will call on you again. I have 69 swarms 

 of bees. 1 obtained 1200 lbs. of comb honey last

 winters. E. Difany. 



Norton, Ohio, March 14, 1887. 



WORTH A dozen OF THE OLD ONES. 



The fdn. mill arrived here all right, March 19th. 

 Express charges were $1.2,''>. I am well pleased with 

 it, and also your promptness in tilling the order. I 

 was in a hurry for the mill, that is why 1 ordered it 

 by express. 1 had counted the cost before sending 

 for it. The mill is worth a dozen like the old one, 

 in mj- estimation. I have made over 50 lbs. of fdn. 

 on the new since it came, and have not had as much 

 trouble with it as 1 did in making one pound (m the 

 old one. Frank L. Rowley.
