Everett's Extractor Corner. 



Sparta Center, Mich.. Sept. 18, 1878. 

 B. O. Everett, Esq., Toledo, O. : My Dear Sir:— 

 Our honey season is now over.and after having given 

 your Extractor a thorough trial, lam fully satisfied 

 It is excelled by none. Mine being 4-framed, I sus- 

 pected the gear might be too light ; but find it heavy 

 enough— luoiUd liaise it nn heavier. Every ounce added 

 weight makes it run heavier. Would dislike to have 

 the canal leading to faucet covered. Yours truly, 

 A. B. CUENEV, Pres. Mich, Bee-Keepers' Ass'n. 



Gibsonbufg. O., May 17. 1878. 

 B. O. Everett :— Extractor came all riglit, and is ac- 

 cording to order. We feel well pleased with it, and 

 there have been three bee-keepers to see it to-day. 

 Two of them have Root's extractor, and they say 

 yours is ahead of his in several respects. Hoping 

 you may have good success, we renniin, vours, 



BAIK& HoECO.MB. 



I have many like testimonials from practical apiar- 

 ists from all parts of the country, whom we all know 

 to be sound in their judgment— not unripe testinumy 

 from novices. B. O. EVEUETT.
