KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



HOW WELL OUR EXTRACTOR PLEASES. 



We received the extractor last Saturday, the 19th. 

 It works splendidl.y. We have already extracted 

 enough honey to pay for it, if we can get a fair 

 price for it. Mr. Root, you can not know how 

 thankful we are to you for sending it without hav- 

 ing received the money; for if we had been obliged 

 to wait until we had the money to send, the honey 

 season would have been almost past; and all such 

 favors in the past and future have been and will 

 continue to be highly apiu-eciatcd. JMillek Hugs. 



Bluffton, Mo., June 2^^., 1SS6.
