_ J. W. TAYLOR'S record-breakers. They are three-

 records as honey-gatherers. I have made a specialty of 

 queen-breeding for ten years to secure the best bees, and 

 now I have them.

 tested, $1.75; each. Breeders, the best, $4.00 each.

 says the finest queen he ever owned he bought from me.
