sent by the freight lines for less than half the express 
prices. 
Persons desiring Queens for the coming season will do 
well to send in their orders soon. First come, first 
served. 
The express charges being as much on the collection of 
five or ten dollars as on a hundred, prevents me from 
collecting through them, especially on small amounts. 
At the very low prices I am now selling goods for, it 
will not be expected that I can pay for collections or 
freights. 
Parties ordering goods will do well to read over the 
price list several times, and be sure and give the prices 
of the articles ordered according to the list to avoid mis- 
takes. 
And if living in the distance, the purchaser will please 
enclose the money with the order, as far as practicable. 
For a more particular description of hives and bees, send 
for “ The Secrets of Bee-Keeping.” 
All mailable articles forwarded on the receipt of price. 
(Ministers of the Gospel are entitled to a complimentary 
card to use my patent hive free of charge.) 
Parties ordering hives, &e., can have the privilege of 
paying for the same at their nearest railroad station on 
receiving the goods, should they desire it, if not too far 
away. 
Persons residing west and south of York State will do 
me the favor to enclose the money, with the order, if con- 
venient, as it will save me some trouble and expense in 
collecting. 
Parties need have no fear of sending their money in 
advance, as they will surely get what they order, or their 
money refunded. 1 have received hundreds of dollars 
through the mails and have not lost a dollar this two years. 
It should be wrapped in a thick piece of letter paper and 
enclosed in a thick bull' envelope, and there will be no 
trouble. 
Freights on a large package are but atrifie, if any, more 
than on a small one.
