ROGERSVILLE, GENESEE CO., MICH., 



ESIRES to call attention to the t.vpographical 

 neatness and "get up " of his little book, 



"THE PRODUCTION OF COMB HONEY." 



It is printed from new type (brevier); the matter 

 leaded; the paper is heavy, delicately tinted and 

 super-calendered; and the press-work is a "credit 

 to the craft." But it is the cover, which is bright- 

 yellow card-hoard, passed through a comb-founda- 

 tion mill, that has brought forth the most enthusi- 

 astic encomiums. The work is very nicely done, 

 and, at the first glance, the cover would almost be 

 taken for foundation; while the beautiful twig of 

 basswood upon the l>ack of the cover and the artis- 

 tic lettering upon the front, printed as they are up- 

 on a corrugated surface- all combine to give the 

 liook a peculiarly neat and tasty appearance. 



Dr. A. B. Mason writes:— The cover is nice, print- 

 ing .ft/if, and contents grand. 



Dr. C. C. Miller says:— Nothing less than a genius 

 would have gotten up that cover. 



E. Kretchmer says:— It is a surprise, in style and 

 workmanship. Nothing could be added to im- 

 prove it. 



Louis Werner writes:— Tt is the best bee-book I 

 ever had, and I do not see liow yon can print such 

 a neat book for so small a price. 



James Heddon writes:— Your hook is a "dandy." 

 The "get up " is nowhere equaled. You have out- 

 done us all on the book problem, and 1 am glad of it. 



Chas. Dadant & Son write:— The book is at hand, 

 and though we do not agree with all it contains, we 

 must say that it is as neat and tastefully gotten up 

 as any thing we ever saw. 



The Bee-Keepers' Magazine says:— "The Produc- 

 tion of Comb Honey " 1.5 the title of a unique little 

 i.vork of 45 pages, by the pen of W. Z. Hutchinson. 

 Mr. Hutchinson struck a liappy idea v/hen he de- 

 signed the cover of his work. 



Prof. Cook otfei-ed congi-atulations again and 

 again, saying:— It is decidedly the most unique lit- 

 tle tiling I have seen in a long time. Why, that 

 cover alone ought to sell it, to say nothing of the 

 good things inside. 



The above are fair specimens of scores of similar 

 testimonials that I have received, nnsolicited. 



{#" Reader, if you wish to see a little typograph- 

 ical "gem," send 25 cents for "The Production of 

 Comb Honey."— Stamps taken; either U. S. or Can-

POTATO BOXES 



(TERRY'S). 



These are made of 

 basswood, bound with 

 galvanized iron. The 

 galvanized iron gives 

 strength, and the 

 basswood strength 

 and lightness. These 

 hold exactly a bushel 

 when level full, and 

 may be piled one on 

 top of another. Al- 

 though they are made especially for potatoes, they 

 can be used for fruit, vegetables, picking up stones 

 on the farm, and a thousand other purposes. When 

 piled one above the other, they protect the contents 

 from the sun and rain; and from their shape a 

 great many more bushels can be set into a wagon 

 than where baskets are used. They are also much 

 more substantial than baskets. 



Price 25 c each; 10, $2.25; 100, »20.00. In the flat, 

 including nails and galvanized iron, $1.75 for 10; 

 100, $16..50: 1000, .$1.50.
