We desire to inform our friends and patrons that our firm has 

 been reorganized and additional capital added. The business 

 will be conducted under the firm name and style of 



HILDRETH & SEGELKEN, 

 at the old stand, where we have had the pleasure of serving- our 

 friends for the past 11 years. Management and supervision 

 will be the same ; and our business methods, those of square 

 and honest dealings, will be practiced as heretofore. 



We believe we have won the esteem and confidence of our 

 shippers throughout the country, and that our dealings, as a 

 rule, have been of the most pleasant nature. 



Our additional capital will put us in a position to increase our 

 already large business still farther, if possible, and at same 

 time enable us to treat our shippers even more liberally than 

 heretofore, in making advances, etc. 



Records will show that we handle by far the bulk of all the 

 honey sent to our market. We make honey the principal part 

 of our business, are personally acquainted and have trade con- 

 nections all over the country, which enables us to handle any 

 amount of honey to better advantage than any other house. 



Oiir old shippers know us and will bear us out in what we 

 have said. Those bee-keepers who do not know us, and have 

 had no dealings with us, we would cordially invite to corre- 

 spond with us and make our acquaintance. 



We not only handle on commission but buy largely as well, 

 from small lots to carloads, for spot cash. We wish to call the 

 attention of southern bee-keepers to the fact that our market 

 never was in better condition than this season. Old stock is 

 disposed of and the market is bare, with a good demand. New 

 crop will find ready sale and at higher prices than have ruled 

 for years past. We would advise them to send their honey 

 while there is a good demand at good prices, as later on condi- 

 tions of the market may change. We also handle maple sugar 

 and syrup very extensively, and would be pleased to hear from 

 those having any of these goods to market. In conclusion we 

 wish to extend our thanks to all of our shippers for their past fa- 

 vors and trust to receive their kind consideration in the future. 



In writing, mention Gleanings.
