THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW

THIS AND THAT 



Forestville, N. Y. 

 Editor Review : I am "at sea" as to 

 why I am considered worthy of the 

 pleasure of twelve free visits from the 

 Review, but want you to know that it 

 is highly appreciated just the same. 

 Long may the National live and con- 

 tinue in the good cause. 



Very respectfully, 



A. S. Parson.

 Mr. E. D. Townsend — ^You may take 

 my name from list in Review as "Hav- 

 ing Honey For Sale," as I am about 

 sold out. It certainly is a good idea. 

 I have also sold quite largely at home 

 in 6-lb. pails. I am also sending list of 

 names eligible to be members of Na- 

 tional Association. Thanking you for 

 past favors, I remain. 



Sincerely yours, 

 Wm. Vollmer, 

 Route No. 2, Akron, N. Y.

Editor Review — I never miss a chance 

 to get each member to subscribe to the 

 Review. I have only sent in 46 this 

 year, but hope to do better. 



I thank 3'ou very much for those 

 cards and hope we can have the N. B. 

 K. Ass'n meeting at St. Louis. 



Yours, 



y. F. DiEMER, 



Sec'y Missouri Ass'n.

PiEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW : 



Have disposed of my clover honey 

 this week; had several inquiries from 

 parties who saw it listed in Review. 

 Asked them 9c and never heard from 

 any of them again. Sold through com- 

 mission man for better than my asking 

 price, also some to old customers at 

 10c. Wish I had enough steady cus- 

 tomers to take all I produce. Very sin- 

 cere thanks to Review for listing just 

 the same. Llope the policy will be con- 

 tinued ; think it is fine for us small 

 producers in out of the way places. 

 \'ery truly yours, 



J. A. Crane. 



X'cntura, Cal., Dec. \2. 1913. 

 Mr. E. D. Townsend, 



Northstar, Mich. : 

 We are hoping for a wet winter and 

 an Old time honey season, as we have 

 had short crops and failures for a num- 

 ber of years and it has been hard on 

 the producer. We can not tell as yet 

 as to what 1914 will be. 



We are having fine weather and the 

 hills and valleys are beginning to get 

 green. 



The gum trees are commencing to 

 bloom at the coast. It is a dark, un- 

 palatable honey, but will stimulate to 

 strength. 



Yours respectfully, 



M. H. Mendleson. 



Chamung, 111., Jan. 12th, 1914. 



Editor Review: Have sent in my $1.50 

 to Secretary Stone to pay my dues in 

 the State and National Association and 

 a year's subscription to the Review. I 

 want to say this : I have received a 

 number of letters wanting honey. One 

 of the first letters received was from 

 a store-keeper that thought my honey 

 would sell good. He made me an offer 

 and I sold him all I had left for 15c 

 per pound for comb honey and the ex- 

 tracted at 40c per quart, put up in Ma- 

 son fruit jars. 



I have 65 colonies of bees and took 

 3,500 pounds comb honey and 600 

 pounds of extracted honey. 



My bees are in the cellar and are in 

 fine shape up to date. Please find en- 

 closed $1.00 for advertisement in the 

 Review. This is a great help to bee- 

 keepers and let us keep it going; it 

 alone is well worth the entire expense. 

 Have answered all letters received and 

 ought to have written you before, but 

 my little girl is very sick and I can 

 hardly write at all. Thanking you for 

 the favor, I remain 



Yours truly, 



Jay S. Kendall. 



(Friend Kendall: We are returning 

 your dollar, as we make no charge for 

 listing members' honey in that depart- 

 ment. We are very glad, indeed, to 

 hear that you had such good fortune as 

 to sell out so readily, especially this 

 year when some are still having trouble 

 disposing of their crop. 



We hope ere this the little girl is 

 well, as we know something of sick- 

 ness ourselves. — Ed.)
