THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER. 



As recorded last month, the D. A. 

 Jones Co. have gone out of the manu- 

 facturing business. We regret the 

 necessity that compelled them to do 

 so, but " its an ill wind that blows 

 nobody good," and we are glad to say 

 we have secured the services of their 

 late foreman, Mr, E. O. Young, who 

 will be general superintendent of our 

 entire plant, and our customers can 

 be assured that from now on they will 

 find our goods even superior to the 

 excellent quality they have ever sus- 

 tained. 



A great many subscriptions expire 

 with this number and we hope each 

 one will hasten to renew at once. We 

 think that you will all agree that the 

 Bee-Kekper is worth the price of 

 subscription. We are quite sure that 

 we have given you 50c worth of time 

 and thought during the past year. 

 There are many single articles which 

 alone are worth many times more 

 than the cost of subscription. Renew 

 at once. 



On page 165 Friend Massie, in his 

 article on "What I have observed. 

 &c." is made to say, "that the passage 

 over the top bars is not a mistake," 

 when in fact he intended to say " it is 

 a mistake." It was only a printer's 

 error, but one of those where the 

 entire meaning was changed. 



The White Mountain Apiarist has 

 not put in an appearance for several 

 months at this office. It has not 

 ceased publication, so we are informed 

 by its publisher, but will appear regu- 

 larly from now on. 



It is now a splendid time to send in 

 your subscription so as to get the 

 complete volume for 1892. 



Now is the proper time to get up a 

 club of subscribers to the Bee Keeper. 

 We will allow you 20 per cent, com- 

 mission, and hope to increase our 

 circulation at least 300 subscribers a 

 mouth from now < n . 



We present our subscribers this 

 month with a complete index of this, 

 the first volume of the Bee-Keeper. 



TO OUR CUSTOMERS. 



The " signs of the times " already 

 point to a very busy and prosperous 

 spring season, and it will behoove 

 everyone to look over their stock of 

 supplies, and if there is anything need- 

 ed that can possibly be ordered this 

 winter, we hope you will not hesitate 

 to send in for it as soon as possible. 

 The discount for Dec. will be 4 per 

 cent.; Jan. 3 per cent.; Feb. 2 per cent. 

 Our goods the coming season will be 

 made from the very best material and 

 in the best manner. We have all the 

 latest devices in machinery, and we are 

 now at work constuctinganew machine 

 for making one-piece sections, which 

 will enable us to produce better sections 

 than we have ever made heretofore, 

 and with our immense stock of dry and 

 white basswood, there will be no liabili- 

 ty whatever of our sending out an in- 

 ferior article. Those of our customers 

 who last season received from us sec- 

 tions or other goods that were not up to 

 our usual excellent standard are especi- 

 ally invited to favor us with a trial 

 order. We are sure we can please you. 



Our new illustrated catalogue for 

 1892 will be mailed you sometime in 

 January. It will be larger and more 

 complete than ever. 



If you have $5.00 to spend, spend 

 it for bee books and bee journals.
