 Hamblin & Bearss, 



Nov. 33. 514 Walnut St., Kansas City, Mo. 



Philadelphia.— Ho7iey.— The demand seems to 

 be curtailed by the high quotations when price of 

 honey is over 15 or 16c per lb. Quotations here are 

 nominally the same, but there is no movement at 

 the prices. To sell at present is to take less. White 

 clover, 1 lb. sections, 17@18c; buckwheat, 11@12; 

 2 lb. sections, and inferior quality, is 1 to 2c lower; 

 extracted, 7@10c. Buyers here object to glassed 

 combs; glass, at 12 to 16c per lb., is too high, even if 

 lined with honey. Pancoast & Griffiths,

" FABLES AND ALLEGORIES." 



Much to my svirprise. we have sold, dining: the last year, over 

 sixty of these bciunful and vahiatili' hudk.-. Although at the 

 time I considered the Ijucik well wurtli .faOO, I didn't suppose 

 there were many \\)\n wimld want t" jiay that price for a book 

 of that charactei'. When we take into consideration, however, 

 that it is ncit only about as handsome a book as can be found 

 in our bookstores, externally and internally, but that is also a 

 book in wliich Kodline-s and purity shine forth from every 

 page, it is jjerliajts not so very surprising. Tlie l)ook is not, in 

 one sense, a religious book, ('or the principles are tjiught in- 

 directly, in the form of a little stoiT. or fable, and sometimes 

 the reader does not see at once the application; but when it 

 bursts upon him he feels a spirit of thankfulness for having 

 been taught jierliajis the very lesson he needs, by way of a sort 

 of parable. The book contains 512 pages and 350 engravings. 

 Many of the latter are some of the finest engravings that are 

 to be found in modern print. The author of this work, Mr, 

 Charles Foster, went to his heavenly rest during the past 

 year; but it seems to me that his book will stand, much as 

 the Pilgrim's Progress does, to help humanity through ages to 

 come. Our new stock of these books for the coming holidays 

 will be even nicer than those of last year, for they are in gilt 

 binding; but the price will remain the same; viz., $2.00 each; 

 two for $.3.50, three for $1.65 each; five or more, $1.60 each. If 

 wanted by mail, you will have to send 32 cts. extra, as the 

 book is so ver.v large and heavy. We can send it for five new 

 names for Gleanings, you paying postage.
