HEDDON'S 



My y'ew Langstroth Hive. 



Thanking you for past years' patronage, 

 I solicit what 1 may justly merit for tlie 

 coming season. I am led to believe that 

 the goods I offer, and my ways of doing 

 business, give at least an average satisfac- 

 tion, from tlie fact that my trade lias more 

 tlian doubled every year since I have dealt 

 in supplies, and that nearly all of my for- 

 mer customers are customers still. True, 

 we have had complaints, but we have more 

 than 50 testimonials of best satisfaction, 

 to every one such complaint. 



1 believe my Hive is growing in popular- 

 ity, to a much greater degree, than is the 

 business of bee-keeping. I am now pre- 

 pared to furnish these hives made up, and 

 In the flatj^ at very reasonable prices. 



Given Comb Foundation, after having 

 been thoroughly tested by many of our 

 most experienced, most successful and 

 most extensive bee-keepers, now stands, 

 at least, second to none. 1 have on hand 

 a large and choice stock of pure, domestic 

 wax, together with improved facilities for 

 making an article of that Foundation ex- 

 celled by none. 



Up to this date, Jan. 1, 1 have not been able to 

 make any contract for any first-class Sections, and 

 I neither use or sell any tithers. If I offer you any 

 for 1884, ynu will see notice here. I have about 

 10,00*"! 5X1JX2 to spare now. 



"We now have in winter quarters, in flrst-class 

 condition, 350 colonies of bees, of our newstraia, 

 and of pure Italian blood. As most of you are 

 aware, for six years past I have taken pains to 

 breed my stock for markings of character, or qual- 

 ities, rather than c»ilur, usinu as a base, the leather 

 colored Italian anil l>ruwn (ierman bees. 



On reading my Circular, you will find some testi- 

 monials from practical bee-keepers (a few saved 

 from many received), that will give you an idea of 

 how well I have succeeded. Our hives and combs 

 are in good conilition, and our bees have always 

 been free from foul brood. I shall endeavor to 

 send out a tirst-ciass line of Full Colonies, Oueens, 

 Nuclei and Bees by the pound. Parties wishing to 

 start an apiary, or purchase on a large scale, as 

 well as those who wish the choicest of my stock to 

 breed from, may do well to correspond with rae. 



Among the goods we have to offer, are Standard 

 Langstroth and American Frames in the tlat, a 

 complete line of Bingham Smokers and Honey 

 Knives, Excelsinr Honey Extractors, Wax Ex- 

 tractors, Plated Wire, for wiring frames, our new 

 style Nucleus Hives, both made up and in the flat. 

 Bee Veils, Sample Shipping Crates, Comb Founda- 

 tion Fasteners. Surplus Hfjney Registers, ourthree 

 styles of Bee Feeders ( for which I have numerous 

 testimonials!, and various parts of our Hive. 

 STUDENTS OF BEE-CULTURE. 



Those who may wish to spend six munths in the 

 theory and practice of Apiculture, may do them- 

 selves a service by writint: for terms for ihs4. 



I send out CIRCULARS to those who solicit 

 them, only, and when ordering, will you please be 

 sure to state whether or not you have my Circular 

 of 1883. 1 believe we have no patent on anything 

 we make, use, or sell, except Bingham smoker and 

 knife. 



As in the past, we shall do our best to satisfy the 

 reasonable, and deal out exact justice to all. Ad- 

 dress all orders and communications to 



DOWAGIAC, Cass County, MICH. 



BEESWAX. 



I pay sae. per pound delivered here, for yellow 

 Beeswax. To avoid mistakes, tne shipper's name 

 should always be on each package.
