THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



233 



Hamilton, III, May 7, 1912. 

 Friend Tyrrell : 



Yours to hand. No, it was not a 

 surprise, for I had been informed of 

 what was transpiring and although 

 there was nothing positive, it looked 

 so plausible that I expected it. 



1 believe we can live side by side 

 and help each other. You have seen 

 my position at Minneapolis concerning 

 the National and I propose to follow it 

 up. You will see by the May number 

 that I feel like urging all bee-keepers 

 to join the National. 



I have no doubt that you will give 

 us your support and be friendly. I wish 

 to say that the A. B. J. is entirely 

 independent of the firm of Dadant & 

 Sons, in which I have not been active 

 for seven years. 



With best wishes, I remain 

 Yours truly, 



C. P. Dadant. 



Fort Edward, N. Y., May 12/12. 

 Mr. E. B. Tyrrell, Detroit, Mich. 



Dear Secretary : The Adirondack 

 Bee-Keepers' Association held its regu- 

 lar spring meeting yesterday (Satur- 

 day) and although it is now Sunday I 

 feel anxious to tell you of the decision 

 we came to in regard the National. 



As secretary, I did all I could to 

 make matters perfectly clear to the 

 members, using the letter from you, 

 also the article in the Review. 



When it was brought to a vote, after 

 first debating upon the matter, I had to 

 record a unanimous vote in favor of 

 staying with the National. 



Yours truly, 

 H. E. Gray, Secretary. 



Swarthmore, Pa., May 25, 1912. 

 Mr. E. B. Tyrrell: 



Dear Sir : I wish to congratulate 

 you on turning the Review over to the 

 National Association. The bee-keepers 

 have long needed a bee journal de- 

 voted to their interests alone. We 

 should now make the Review the most 

 powerful bee journal in the United 

 States if not in the world. 



If there is any literature that I can 

 enclose with my regular inquiries for 

 catalogue will be pleased to send them 

 out if you will provide same. 



Respectfully yours, 



Penn G. Snyder. 



Kno>:. Ind., 5/8/1912. 

 Mr. E. B. Tyrrell, Detroit, Mich. 



Dear Secretary : Officers and direc- 

 tors in the National Bee-Keepers' Asso- 

 ciation are surely an inspiration to 

 others or ought to be. They ^are house- 

 hold words to bee-keepers.-' 

 Yours truly, 



James ' Arnott. 



Columbus, Ohio, May 14, 1912. 

 Mr. E. B. Tyrrell,' 



230 Woodland Ave., 

 Detroit, Mich. 



Dear Sir : I am glad to have your 

 letter of the 9th, and learn of the ex- 

 cellent benefits oiTered to members of 

 the National Bee-Keepers' Association. 

 I feel sure that we will be able, under 

 these inducements, to work up a very 

 large membership in this state and 

 would be very pleased to have a list of 

 your Ohio subscribers. Together with 

 the president of our association, I ex- 

 pect to prepare a circular at once and 

 begin a campaign for members. 



When it will not interfere with other 

 duties, my apiary inspectors will talk 

 membership. The Ohio Association at 

 its last meeting passed a resolution 

 favorable toward affiliation with the 

 National Association. Any further in- 

 formation that you can supply us will 

 be appreciated. 



Yours very truly, 



N. E. Shaw, Secretary. 



New London, Conn., 5/9/'l912. 

 E. B. Tyrrell, Managing Editor, 



230 Woodland Ave., 

 Detroit, Mich. 



Dear Sir: Enclosed find postal 

 money order for $1.00 being for one 

 year's subscription to the Bee-Keepers' 

 Review, beginning with the June num- 

 ber. I have read your statement of 

 the conditions influencing you in the 

 sale of the Review to the National As- 

 sociation, and the attitude of the direc- 

 tors in the purchase of it. I am very 

 much pleased and thi^i my first sub- 

 scription is intended particularly to 

 emphasize my endorsement of this 

 action. 



Very truly yours, 



J. M. Graves.
