KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



the bee-papek. 



If there is any other paper that I have not yet 

 heard of that is ciiual to Gleanings, put luy name 

 down. I have four bee-journals, and Gleanings 

 is, I think, </ic bee-paper. H. E. Hill. 



Titusville, Pa., Dee. 17, 1885. 



OUR (jALIFORNI.V HONEV. 



1 received the can of honey all right, and am ver.v 

 much pleased with it. 1 think it is as nice honey as 

 1 ever saw or tasted. 1 shall want some more of it 

 after awhile. C.E.Jones. 



Delaware. Ohio. 



T'he two cans of California honey shipped Dec. 

 Kith arrived here on the 30th in first-class condition. 

 The honey has been declared by several persons as 

 the finest they ever saw or tasted. I think it will 

 sell rapidly. 3— Gustavus Wiedehholu, 5-7. 



Yonkers, N. V., Jan. 1, 1886. 



THE BEE-KEEPEK'S WHEELBA K KO W. 



The goods came all right. The wheelbarrow is 

 the most complete, I think, I ever saw. Oliver, 8 

 years old, can wheel 50 lbs. on it with ease. The 

 bees are doing finely, with good stores and a fly 

 every few days. C. F. Uhl. 



Millersburg, Ohio, January 1, 1886. 



WH.VT O. M. DOOLITTLE THINKS Ol' OLE.VNINGS. 



Gleanings for Dec. 15 has come to hand, the 

 wrapper telling me that you make me a present of 

 it for 1886. Very many thanks indeed. 1 wish to 

 say that Gleanings is gaining ground; i. e., grow- 

 ing better and better every year. 



G. M. Doolittle. 



Borodino, N. Y., Dec. 33, 1885. 



A kind wont) KOK THE SECTIONS WE AltE M.VK- 

 ING THIS VEAK. 



The sections arc just a little bit the nicest I have 

 ever had. 1 have bought all my sections for the 

 last 7 years, and these arc the first that have alto- 

 gether filled my idea as to what they ought to be. 

 Although 1 have never complained to dealers, 1 

 have always thought they might be a little more 

 careful about dovetailing the ends so they would 

 not leave a jog of a 1-16 or ^s when driven togeth- 

 er. These are just right. The counter goods are 

 fully worth the money. Please accept thanks.
