144 THE BEEKEEPERS' REVIEW 



bottom up and not from the top down. His division of the Unit- 

 ed States into honey producing divisions was good and his state- 

 ment that these divisions are now competing is correct, but his 

 intimation that they cannot co-operate will hardly be borne out by 

 the facts, for they have co-operated to a certain extent already. 



If a honey buyer can gather the honey together from these 

 varying districts, blend it and sell it upon the large markets, the 

 co-operative association can do the same thing. A well organized 

 association can do anything that a private individual or corpora- 

 tion can. 



One of the desirable features of the Convention was the 

 placing of the exhibits in a store room of the hotel by themselves. 

 The disturbance to the public sessions was thus avoided. 



The Colorado Honey Producers' Association had charge of the 

 display of G. B. Lewis Company's goods, Dadant & Son's, and The 

 American Can Co. The C. S. Morey Mercantile Company served 

 coffee, and the serving of honey on hot biscuits was a feature pro- 

 vided by the Colorado Honey Producers' Association. Through 

 the efforts of Mr. Frank Rauchfuss, the exhibits were beautifully 

 arranged and the front of the exhibit room decorated. 



The social evening Tuesday, between the hours of nine and 

 ten-thirty, was enjoyed by all. Music was furnished by the Au- 

 ditorium Orchestra. Punch, oranges and Colorado Jonathan ap- 

 ples were served, and a general good social time was had. 



The banquet furnished by the Colorado Honey Producers' As- 

 sociation Wednesday evening was a delightful affair, one hun- 

 dred sitting down to the seven course supper.
