E. D. TOWNSEND. Northstar, Michigan, of the 

 firm of E. D. Townsend & Sons, has his winter 

 home at Marksville, La., among the large ship- 

 pers of package bees. Some of these beekeepers 

 are mighty good beekeepers, but poor salesmen. 

 A year ago I sold several hundred packages of 

 bees for the above producers, and they have asked 

 me to sell for them again during next season and 

 I have decided to do so. No small orders will be 

 accepted, and none but three and four pound 

 packages, with comb of sealed brood and honey, 

 will be handled. If you can use from 25 to 500 

 packages, the kind that brings in the full crop 

 of honey the first season, you will make a mistake 

 if you do not get my very low .iobbing prices be- 

 fore buying. Address m° at Northstar. Michigan, 

 until December 15. later at Marksville. La.
