HITES. 
PRICE OP TOWNSHIP BIGHTS. 
"We prefer to sell township rights, rather than large tracts 
of territory, where the hive is being introduced, as many sales 
of v/hole States would terminate extensive advertising by us, 
which is a great aid to agents and owners of territory. In 
some instances we have received for farm rights sold several 
times, the original price of a township, when some person becom- 
ing convinced that a great number of rights and hives could be 
sold yearly, (by first supplying bee-keepers, and thus stimula- 
ting those who have no bees to buy them,) applies to us or to 
the agent for the purchase of his township, and is surprised that 
we make no deduction from our regular price. To all such, we 
would say that the value of a township is increased, rather than 
diminished, by the general use of the hive. 
Our price for the right, of a township containing less than 150 voters, is $00 00 
Between 150 and 200 voters, is 35 00 
Between 200 and 800 voters, is 40 00 
Between 800 and 500 voters, is 45 00 
If the number of voters in your township is not known, see 
the last census report, or ask any Justice, trustee or politician, 
and ascertain the price from the above table. 
Note.— The above retail prices will probably remain unchanged, though the sales 
are rapid and the territory is constantly increasing in value. The improved movable 
comb frames are secured by Letters Pateut for a term of seventeen years from Octo- 
ber, 1805, and we have just secured another advantage by purchasing a general 
interest for Mr. Langstroth’s territory in his Patent, extended seven years in 3866; 
being determined to respect the rights of all men, and spare no expense to maintain 
the supremacy of the “American Ilive.”
