THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



number of extensive bee-keepers near 

 Groton, New York, turned their crops 

 of comb honej^ over to Mr. Niver, who 

 g'raded and crated it, and then packed a 

 case with samples, and went out as a 

 "drummer, " selling' direct to the retail 

 trade, going over the same ground more 

 than once, taking orders and collecting 

 for the honey. I have an article from 

 Mr. Niver telling of his success. It is 

 long, readable, full of humor, and of 

 suggestions for some man to go and do 

 likewise. Mr. Niver is now at work 

 preparing an article on retailing honej' 

 to city customers. 



The foregoing are onl^' a few of the 

 g'ood things that are in store for the 

 readers of the Review — these are given 

 simply as samples. The prospects for 



in bee-keeping were never brighter for 

 the man who will arouse himself, wake 

 up to the changed conditions of things, 

 and take advantage of the changes. 

 One thing is certain, if you are a bee- 

 keeping specialist, if bee-keeping- is 

 your dush/ess, \'ou can't afford not to 



It will lead 3'ou, and encourage you, 

 and fill you with ideas, and tell you 

 how to do things — show you how to en- 

 large your business and viake money . 

 Send $1.00 for the Review for 1904, 

 and long ere the year is out j'ou will ad- 

 mit that it was the most profitable in- 

 vestment vou ever made.
