GOODS DAMAGED IN THE FLOOD. 



The flood in Kansas City, Mo., the last of May, 

 caught a carload of our goods in transit to Carl F. 

 Buck, Augusta, Kan. The damage to the goods in 

 the car will amount to $oC0, besides the disappoint- 

 ment of customers who were wailing for these goods 

 to arrive in Augusta. .Some goods are a total loss, 

 while others are damaged, but good enough to be used 

 at a reduced price. Mr. Buck is planning to build a 

 larger warehouse, and fill it during the fall and winter 

 sj as to be prepared for an increased spring trade. 

 Judging from the experience of many dealers during 

 the \ ast few weeks, and their failure to get goods in 

 suffici^nt quantity to fill orders promptly, they will 

 do wt 11 to adopt a .similar plan. 



BUSINESS BOOMING. 



Favorable weather over a large area has brought on 

 such a spurt of honey that the demand for sections 

 and shipping-cases is something phenomeral. It is 

 impossible for manufactures to keep pace with it. We 

 have : een running ojr s; ction machinery up till !) p. 

 m. for th'=- past thiee weeks or more, making from 

 000,000 to 70(1.000 a week; but we can not supply the de- 

 mand. Several of our agencies have been greatly 

 crippled in filling orders for lack of sections. Our 

 slock of l}r; and 2 inch, 4-beeway ue have worked over 

 and dispo.sed ot in 114 plain and 1%, 4 openings, the 

 latter in some ca.ses being subslitiud for the regular 

 2 openings. This is better than not lo get any thing. 

 Let dealers and bee-keepers alike take warning, and 

 provide themselves eatly with goods in greatt r abund- 

 ance, and thereby avoid such a famine as they are now 

 having
