KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



We have 100 stands of bees, and run for comb honey. 

 I/ast year we tried the fence separator, and liked it so 

 well that we bought new furniture for all our old su- 

 pers. We use your Sframe Dovetailed hive exclusive- 

 ly, and think there are no better goods made than are 

 sent out by your house. Thorn Bros. 



Umatilla, Ore. 



jQcar /^r?>«(//?oo/.— I herewith inclose S8.00 for the 

 starving people of India. A part of it was collected 

 in a small Sunday-school. The rest is from my broth- 

 er and myself. Chas. Hermann. 



Durango, Iowa, May 1 



HOW AN advertisement BROUGHT RETURNS. 



Plf-ase stop that ad't of "Wanted, a man with 

 small family." Goodness ! I had no idea there are so 

 many men who read Gleanings who want a job. 

 Now, if you don't stop that ad't I shall not be able to 

 answer all the letters this summer. Gleanings is a 

 "hummer" to advertise in. If I wanted a wife I 

 should be afraid to let Gleanings know any thing 

 about it for fear I should have more on my hands than 

 I know what to do with. With many thanks and best 

 wishes for the future I remain yours truly,
