GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



533 



NO. 2 SECTIONS. 



We are oversold on most sizes of No. 2 sections ex- 

 cept four openings in 2 inch and 1},';, which we can re- 

 duce to narrower width. We also have a surplus of 

 4^x11^ plain; 35^x5x1^ plain, and Danz. 4x6.xl?8 plain. 

 If you can use any of these we can ship them prompt- 

 ly- 



BEESWAX LO'WER. 



Until further notice we will pay 28 cts. cash, or 30 in 

 trade, for average wax delivered here. As we antici- 

 pated, wax has been coming our way more freely as 

 the season advances. We have about enough on 

 hand and on the way to finish this season's trade in 

 foundation. Price will likely be marked still lower 

 next month. 



BUSINESS STILL BOOMING. 



We started last week running our section machinery 

 up till midnight to increase the output of sections to 

 keep pace with the orders. We are making some 

 gains on the orders, and hear from some of our agents 

 and dealers that they are nearly caught up. We still 

 have ten days' to two weeks' work ahead of us, and 

 orders are coming in quite freely yet. We are doing 

 our utmost to get caught up by July ist. 



Kind Words from our Customers. 



I do not wish Gleanings to stop, as I can not do 

 without it. It is, to the very last word in it, brimful of 

 good reading. It has saved me many times its cost in 

 the information I have always found in it. 



Pentz, Pa., May 23. J. B. Hollopeter. 



There are two things I am feeling especially happy 

 about. One is my new secretary made of poli.shed 

 oak. The other is that fountain pen you .sent me. I 

 wonder you don't get more " Kind Words " in regard 

 to them. It is worth a "big lot " to me to escape the 

 thralldoni of the ink-bottle. Since the pen and I have 

 got "acquainted" with each other we agree to a "dot " 

 without any "blots " anywhere around.
