\\f are now iiiakitijr oiio-i'i»'''i' sections at t lie rate 

 of a million a niontli. In tlic live months from Aug:. 

 1st to. Ian. 1st We made aboul one anil tliree-i|iiarter I 

 millions; in .huuiary and i-'eliruary. one and one- j 

 quarter millions; and sinee t lie HtsI of Marrli we 

 liave l)een t lirnin^j- tliem out at the rale of a mi II ion 

 a month. We now liave in stoek ahont one and a 

 half UMllioMS of all widtlis of the 4'.! inch seitii>n 

 from KSi inclies up to :.' inclu's. We have also eiiouj-^h 

 dry lumher in our yard to make alioiit three million • 

 more. By t he time this is worked up the lumher we 

 have con'tiacted. cut the jiasl winter, will he leady [ 

 to bejrin on, and t his will make six or eitrlit million , 

 more. The ipiality of t he sections is siipeiior to an.\ 

 we ever sent out in former years, and. we believe, 

 equal to any made, and sui)erior to most makes. 

 \Vi> contracted to supjily one lartre dealer at a liiitih- ^ 

 er price tli:iii he was ot1ere(l otliei- good sections for, 

 because he decifled that ours would please his cus- 

 tomers enouffh better to pay the ditterence in piice. 

 We are also makiny- lower i)rii-es in lar^e lots to 

 dealei's than we have been able to do heretofoie. 

 We mention all these thintrs to sliow you how well | 

 prepared we are tt) serve \ ou. Last year, and the | 

 year liefore, oui' suppl.v of lumlH'r suitabh" for sec- 

 tions was insufficient, and. as a conseijueiice, to fill 

 orders at all we were compelled to send out some 

 tliat were rather inferior for first {jrade. To many ; 

 of our friends who received tliese g-oods we have al- j 

 lowed a rebate, and to others who mentioned it in j 

 theii- orders we have .sent an exti-i supi)ly of the { 

 elioice sections we ai-e now turning out. If there i 

 are any wild have not yet hud s;itisfaction we want 

 txi hear from you so that we may have an opportu- , 

 nit> toffive you satisfaction, and to give you see- i 

 tions that can not l)e surpassed by any nianut'ac- i 

 turer. ' 



Kind Words From Our Customers. 



I don't see how one who has had a taste (»f Glean- 

 i.vfjs can expect to get a better feast. It's every 

 thing to me. Gardening and Home talk and all are 

 so social it seems as if I had you by the arm looking 

 over my fruits, etc. Long may you live to cheer us, 

 especially by the welcome address of the word 

 " friend." (iod bless you. E. P. Churchill.

I just unpacked the goods I received fiom you, 

 and am more than jileased witli the same. The.y ar- 

 lived in tlie best possible condition, and give good 

 .sjitisfaction for the future. The workmanship of 

 the hives is tlu- fl?iest I ever saw. My neighl)ors say 

 they never saw wood so well made and aecuiate, as 

 it is worked bj- automatic machinery. Voui- manner 

 of i)acking is excellent, and answers well for long 

 distances. The lot of medium foundation is first 

 qualit}' in all respects. 'I'he freight on these goods 

 was very low. The duty was rat hei- high. As long 

 as I receive goods like these you can reckon on me 

 ius a customer, tliough it is as fai- as 6(Hi miles from

I got two queens from ndu last summer, and they 

 were tine ones. They were safely introduced. I like 

 the Henton cage. 1 hav»; bought quite a good many 

 queeus, but yours came the quickest of anj- I ha\e 

 had yet. I (fid not have to go tothe olTice tlve or six 

 times, as I have had to do before, foi- I had them in 

 a few days. I shall know wheri' to get them after 

 this. Fkancis Ohtt. 



Darling Road. O. N. T. 



[Knowing, as we do. that, when a customer ordeis 

 a queon, he wants it at omre or his colony will suffer, 

 we bend every enei-gy to send all queens by retui'n 

 mail. How this is ai)preciated, many letteis at hand 

 testify.!
