GEO. W. YORK & CO. 



118 llichigan st., CHICAQO, ILL. 



scribed for a certain monthly bee-paper in 

 January. ISW, and in the tall I had 544 

 pounds of fancy honey to sell, so I wrote to 

 the publisher to give, or send me the names 

 of good, reliable firms in Chicago, to whom 

 I could semi my honey, but I did not get 

 an answer; but the next copy of the paper 

 that came contained a big advertisement 

 of a certain honey-commission house, so I 

 sbipt to them, and "the consequences" I 

 had to take, for I did not get one cent for 

 my honey. One of my neighbors lost 600 

 pounds by the same concern. 



Louis Thiel. 



Back in the Banks Again. 



I commenced taking the American Bee 

 Journal, when I was a small boy, in the 

 70's. and took it until I moved to western 

 Dakota, where my bees dried up. and crops, 

 too, when I was unable to pay for it, and in 

 189'3 or 1893 I had to discontinue; but I am 

 about to locate here in southeastern 

 Dakota, where everything does well— bees 

 excellently, and sweet clover has the waste 

 ground. I can't get along anv longer with- 

 out the "Old Reliable."

Prospects Never Better. 



I got 1.5 pounds of honey from one colony 

 in 189C. and from the rest nothing. I have 

 .5 colonies on the summer stands, and they 

 seem to be wintering all right. I have been 

 laid up for two weeks with the grippe ; to- 

 day is the first 1 have been outdoors. The 

 prospects never were better, white and 

 sweet clover look fine. Success to the " Old 

 Reliable." W. M. Daniels.
