HONEY AND BEESWAX. 



Our market, and location as a trade center, the 

 rapid growth of our city and country, gives us a 

 large demand for honey. We have found it impos- 

 sible to keep a stock of Mb. frames, unglassed, and 

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

 much faster than any other and we vvill make liber- 

 al ofiei'S on receipt of samples. We are well stocked 

 on 3-lb. sections, also extracted. Beeswax wanted 

 on commission. GLEMONS, CLOON & CO.,
