HONEY AND BEESWAX. 



Our market, and location as a ti-ade center, the 

 rapid gi-owth of our cit.v and country, gives us a 

 large demand for hone.v. We have found it impos- 

 sible to keep a stock of 1-lb. frames, unglassed, and 

 of which we are in need. This style of comb sells 

 much faster than any other and we will make liber- 

 al offers on receipt of samples. We are well stocked 

 on 2-lb. sections, also extracted. Beeswax wanted 

 on commission. CLEMONS, CLOON & CO.,
