Dear Sirs: — In reply to your favor I take this 

 opportunity to let you know that I am a customer of 

 yours. I used considerable of your Surplus founda- 

 tion some time ago, but got side-tracked. I would 

 have saved money by using your foundation.

DADANT & SONS, Hamilton, 111. 



Dear Sirs: — Mr. N. E. Frances' recommendation 

 of your goods is all 0. K., but I have one that is more 

 convincing, at least for me. I own five yards, and 

 nearly all the combs in them are drawn from Dadant's 

 foundation. There must be a reason.
