Mr. Ben G. Davis, breeder of the "Dsivis" fpmous "Goldens." Mr. Davis in his strain of 

 goldens has combined honey gathering qualities with beauty and gentleness. There has more 

 favorable comment reached the Review office regarding "Ben's" goldens, as disease resisters 

 than any other breeders. This means that they are a hardy and industrious strain. Ex-Direc-

 inspector of apiaries of Tennessee for several years and ought to know. Mr. N. E. Franes 

 says "They are wonderful disease resisting bees." If you are in an European foul brood loca-

 this disease with. Mr. Davis has promised to mail Review ordei-s promptly, by return maiL

Our 1915 Crop of White Clover Extracted Honey For Sale 

 TOWNSEND'S ULTRA-QUALITY 



Gathered from the clean meadows of old Gratiot County, where hardly a single other 

 blossom can be found, except the White and Alsike clover, we can this year offer Clover Ex- 

 tracted Honey in its purity. In the production of this crop of honey, we offer you our forty 

 years' experience in learning how to produce the very best quality of honey from the very best 

 honey nectar producing plant in the world. White and Alsike clover. Combs are provided, so 

 no honey is extracted until it is thoroughly cured on the hive, by the bees. Besides this, our 

 honey is produced in nice clean white combs, above queen excluders. Last Fall, these white 

 combs were cleaned of all honey adhering to them, by the bees, lest there should he some little 

 old sour honey from last year mixed with this new crop to impair its flavor. Rich, ripe, roapy, 

 are some of the "pet names" given our honey by the consuming public. Of course, this Clover 

 honey, handled as we do, would naturally be of a most delicious flavor, aroma, boquet. As 

 usual, this 1915 crop of Ultra-quality white clover extracted honey will be canned in brand 

 new, bright, shiny, tin cans, containing GOIb net weight, and crated one and two in a case for 

 shipment, the bulk being crated, two in a crate. It costs some more to produce Townsend's 

 Ultra-quality honey, than the ordinary extracted honey upon the market, then as it is evapor- 

 ated down so close and heavy body, we do not get so many pounds by this process, consequently 

 have to sell it for a little advance over regular stock. We quote you this fine stock as long as 

 it lasts F. O. B. our station as follows : one 60rb net can cased singly of this best stock at 

 $6.25 per can ; in cases of two cans, one to nine cases inclusive, at 10 cent^ per pound ; 10 or 

 more cases at 91-1. cents per pound. We will this year make a charge of 10c for a sample of 

 this fine honey, but will return 25c with your first order to pay you back for your money and 

 inconvenience in remitting same. 



While our entire crop of Townsend's Ultra-quality extracted honey is still upon the hives 

 "curing" as we go to press, some will be ready by the time this number of the Review reaches 

 you, so you can order upon receipt of this, expecting your order to have our most prompt atten- 

 tion. Our binding guarantee is that if this Townsend's Ultra-quality extracted honey is not 

 as good honey as you ever bought at any price, or, if for any reason you do not care to accept 

 it upon arrival we will gladly take it off your hands and refund your money, including all 

 freight charges. Could we offer more ! Of course you will realize we could not make this offer 

 if our stock of honey was "just ordinary" but Townsend's Ultra-quality extracted honey is not 

 of the ordinary kind, so we do not fear the results of this binding guarantee. Remember there 

 IS but one Townsend's Ultra-Quality extracted honey and to secure this .-plendid biand address
