I received the dictionary on the 4th. It is worth 

 twice the money. E. Hotjlev. 



Hemlock, Ont., Can., Aug. 5, 1881.

 look as though they hadn't been out of the hive anj- 

 time at all. You will hear from me again soon. 



Owego, N. Y., Aug. 20, 1881. H. MORSE. 



The lal)el3 came to hand a few days ago, and just 

 suit me. 1 must commend you for your despatch.

The cheirograph came to-day in good order. It 

 far exceeds my e.vpectations. At the first trial I 

 could take off copies ,iust as fast as I could wish to. 

 Accept thanks. CnAs. H. Kiniade. 



Sterling, Ark., Aug. 10, 1881.

 mind .\ou of the pleasure your promptness and fair 

 dealing ha\'c attorded mc. 1 do not wonder at your 

 success in business. 15. S. Unuekhill. 



Williamson, Wayne Co., N. Y., Aug. IT, 1881. 



I think every number is worth almost the price of 

 .it for a year. I also admire your promptness in do- 

 ing "biz." The smoker (Clark's) ordered of you 

 came to hand two days sooner than I expected, and 

 works like a charm. J. S. C.\Rr.ir,E. 



Chester, Morris Co., N. J., Aug. IT, 1881. 



The package of goods you sent me by express is 

 at hand all right. The 24 lbs. "Favorite" scale is 

 splendid — .just the thing for weighing honey or any 

 thing else within its range; every farmer's wife 

 should have one for weigbiug butter, etc.

Wabash, Ind., Aug. 18, 1881. 



I can not get as good a knife here for less than 30 

 cents each, and the glass-cutters cost here about 35 

 cents each. How can you sell them so cheap? I do 

 not suppose yoii steal them. The knives are fine 

 steel-bladed, and what will you think if I tell you I 

 strapped one of them oti my boot a little, and actu- 

 ally got a good shave with it? See accompanying 

 orders for more goods. G. W. Young. 



Lexington, Mo., Aug. 10, 1881. 



[We don't steal them, friend Y.; but by buying 

 them by the gross we get them for a fraction less 

 than 9 cents each. We shall not get rich selling 

 them, you see, but a r/nod knife for an even dime is 

 quite an accommodation to the brethren.]
