My New Langstroth Hive. 



Tliaiikiiig you for past years' patronage, 

 I solicit what I may justly merit for the 

 coming season. 1 am led to believe that 

 the goods I offer, and my ways of doing 

 business, give at least an average satisfac- 

 tion, from the fact tliat my trade has more 

 than 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. 



I believe my Hive is growing in popular- 

 ity, to a riiuch greater degree, than is the 

 business of bee-keeping. I am now pre- 

 pared to funiish these hives made up, and 

 In the fiat, at very reasonable prices. 



Given Comb Foundation, after having 

 been tliorouglily tested by many of our 

 most experienced, most successful and 

 most extensive bee-keepers, now stands, 

 at least, second to none. 1 nave on hand 

 a large and choice stock of pure, domestic 

 wax, together with improved facilities for 

 making an article of tliat Foundation ex- 

 celled by none.

I am now ready to furnish white all- 

 Dovetail Sections as follows: 4)4x4Xx6, 7
