THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER

forward its aims and interests so long 

 as his engagement under this agree- 

 ment shall continue, by selling honey 

 and other goods entrusted to him at 

 as good a price as possible, by acting 

 harmoniously with Messrs. Brandon & 

 Co., or any other merchant to whom 

 he is accredited by the Association, by 

 trying to improve the reputation of 

 the Associations' goods, and by collect- 

 ing and sending to the General INIan- 

 ager information that may be useful to 

 the Association. 



If the General Manager shall so in- 

 struct him he is, on landing at Bristol, 

 to call on Messrs. Elders «fc Fyffes, 

 with a letter from J\lr. Haggart and 

 one from the Association. (Asking 

 them to receive consignments from the 

 Association at a commission of only i 

 per cent., which Mr. Dickson sells 

 there, and to bank the proceeds for the 

 Association, paying Mr. Dickson his 

 actual expenses if any are incurred in 

 Bristol after the 5th of April, and re- 

 mitting the balance to the Association. 

 But, unless the General Manager shall 

 so instruct him, he is to proceed as 

 soon as possible to London, and there 

 call on Messrs. Brandon & Co., at 32 

 Fenchurch street, present his letter of 

 introduction from !Mr. Wigan, and 

 complete the arrangements proposed 

 to them by Mr. Wigan for the issue 

 of sampling orders, and the keeping 

 of a banking account of the Associa- 

 tions' funds in their own names. 

 Messrs. Brandon & Co. will give Mr. 

 Dickson authority to issue sampling 

 orders, and, on his effecting sales, will 

 give delivery orders to buyers in ex- 

 change for payment. They will, on be- 

 half of the Association, pay Mr. Dick- 

 son his expenses of board, lodging and 

 business locomotion to the extent of 

 about 2 pounds a week. 



The Association besides providing 

 Mr. Dickson's return passage and pay- 

 iiig him the sums set out at the begin- 

 ning of this agreement will, so long as 

 he is their agent under this agreement, 

 pay his actual expenses at about the 

 above rate and after the honey season 

 is over for this year, say early in the 

 month of August, they will pay him 

 such further sum, if any, as may be left 

 to them after paying him the said trav- 

 veling and living expenses out of a 

 fund made up; firstly, of any percent- 

 age commissions which they may have 

 earned on the honey or other goods 



sold by him, and secondly of any sums 

 received by them by special arrange- 

 ment from members whose honey has 

 been sold by Mr. Dickson at a price 

 certified by the directors to be higher 

 than the contemporary price for that 

 class of honey in Mincing Lane. And in 

 case, owing to Air. Dickson not having 

 been entrusted with large enough 

 quantities of honey or other goods to 

 enable him to earn enough commis- 

 sions or special sums as above, the di- 

 rectors may, in their discretion, allot 

 him some special remuneration, having 

 regard both to the means at their dis- 

 posal and to their opinion of his de- 

 serts. 



It is agreed that the Association may 

 at any time terminate this agreement 

 summarily, or by notice, by word of 

 mouth, letter or telegram, leaving Mr. 

 Dickson, however his return ticket 

 and his right to his expenses to the 

 sailing of the next direct line steamer, 

 though it is contemplated to continue 

 it at least till the beginning of June. 

 If Mr. Dickson satisfies the directors 

 they will consider that he has the first 

 claim to act as agent for them next 

 season. 



Mr. Dickson may terminate this 

 agreement at any time by letter or 

 telegram and making proper arrange- 

 ments with Messrs. Brandon & Co., or 

 other merchants, to whom he may be 

 accredited, but if he terminates it be- 

 fore the loth of June he agrees that 

 he will refund to the Association the 

 whole of the sums which they have 

 paid, or caused to be paid to him, less 

 a sum equal to 2 1-2 per cent on the 

 sales effected by him and approved by 

 Messrs. Brandon & Co. 



Signed, on behalf of the Association, 

 by 

 H G. Burnet, General Manager, 

 A. E. Wigan, one of the Directors 



of the J. B. K. A. 

 W. H. Dickson.
