SPECIAL NOTICES 



By Oue Business Manager 



UNTESTED QUEENS. 



One of our breeders reports that he will be 

 able to supply us about a hundred fine queens this 

 week. These are raised from our choi'^est f^lock 

 and we will waive the usual October price and fill 

 orders for these at $1 each, $10 for twelve, $22.50 

 for twenty-five, while the present stock lasts. This 

 will wind up our queen-rearing operatio'n for this 

 season, but offers an exceptionally good chance to 

 get some fine stock to winter. No orders filled 

 at these prices when these hundred queens are gone. 



HONEV-TUMBLERS TO RETAIL AT 10 CENTS, PILLED 

 WITH HONEY. 



We buy tumblers by the carload for packing 

 honey for the retailers to sell at 10 cents each 

 Ihose we use hold about 7 ounces of honey, and have 

 our label lithographed on the cap. The tumblers 

 as they come through the factory vary somewhat 

 in size, and m selecting them there will be some 

 a tririe too large or too small to fit our litho- 

 graphed caps. These are fitted with plain tin 

 caps made a little larger or smaller as the case 

 may be, and packed in barrels of 40 dozen each. 

 We offer these for sale at a special price of $6 00 

 per barrel.which is only 15 cts. per dozen. We 

 can ship either from Medina or Clarksburg W Va 

 Five-barrel lots at $5.50.
