KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



Tlie stravvherry-plunts (over four thousand) got 

 here in good sluipe. The Parker Earles are " dan- 

 dies." WauzekaMfg, Co. 



Wauzelia, Wis., May 8. 



The two frame Cowan is a grand success, and will 

 extract a lot in a day. Ten-frame iiives, 3 stories 

 liigli, are none too large for this country. 



Port Orange, Pla., May 17. J. 15. Case. 



I am delighted with uiy hives and the lawn-mower. 

 The latter is running now, and it does its worlt, I 

 might say, perfectly. You have my thanlis, and 

 you will get mv ordeis in bce-flxtures. 



Portland, Tenn., May 30. Dr. W. P. Mooke, Sr. 



Goods arrived O. K. The Dovetailed hives are the 

 finest T ever saw. Persons who were watcliing me 

 unpaclv them said, " Tiie person wlio made and 

 packed tlio-se hives surely has things down fine;" 

 and indeed I think so too. J. W. Palmer. 



Dudely, Pa., May 24. 



My. supplies were received In first-class shape, 

 May 25, and I am well pleased with the same, espe- 

 cially the Daisy foundation-fastener. It is a daisy, 

 sure. I would have written sooner, but I wanted to 

 te.st it first, I have put in foundation enough for 

 neighbors to more than pay for it. Isaac Downs. 



Premont, O., May 31. 



LIKES THE HIVES. 



My goods came at last. They were delayed, I sup- 

 pose, on account of the strike, but they are here, 

 and I have the hives put togetlier. I think they are 

 the nicest and best hives I ever saw. They will be a, 

 good advertisement for your goods in tl'iis part of 

 the counlry. I like the Hoffman frame. 



Brookville, Pa., May 24, F. A. Lashohe. 



KIND AVORD FROM AN 83-YEAR-OLD SUBSC4!IBER. 



You may send the journal till I stop breathing 

 and go home to my Savior. I am almost there, for 

 I was born in 1812, .so you see I am almost home. 

 Thank God! I can raise bees yet, and have a nice 

 flower-garden and a nice home to live in— a nice 

 nealcompaiiion. I tr.y to live for Christ, and have 

 no will of my own. All for Christ. I am happy all 

 day. A, Griefbs. 



Albion, Mich,, May 12. 



THOSE POLISHED SECTIONS A MARVEL. 



Allow US to commend you on tlie excellent quali- 

 ty of goods received from you. The foundation, 

 both brood and surplus, is perfection; and those 

 extra polished sections are simply a marvel of what 

 wood-working ma(;hinery can be made to accom- 

 plish. We "little ones" will have to set in and 

 hustle, or we maybe swallowed up in this avalanche 

 of modern mode of n atness in manufacturing.
