A. L. and L. w. Boyden Go to
Los Angeles, and
r. w. Boyden
to Frisco

ornia, located at LOS Angeles, has SO
increased In Importance to the bee
Keeping industry@of the Pacific coast
that it has become absolutely neces-
sary for some one of the executives
Of the home plant at Medina to be re-
leased to take full charge of the
Pac ,fic coast the, year round. After
much deliberation, A. L. Boyden, the
director Of sales at Medina, was APP
pointed to this important position, as
he was considered best fitted for that
work. 5.
Y Meanwhile Mr.. H. J. Bostwick for
several years the capable manager OF
the San Francisco branch office sud-
denly and Unexpectedly received a
call to become manager of new sani-
tarium in Michigan, which promises to
be the largest and most important Of
its kind in the world. Mr.. Boyden
consented to be responsible for the
Coast business, but asked that his
brother, r. W. Boyden, be released
to take charge Of San Francisco. Mr..
r. w. Boyden has had experience as
branch manager in Chicago, and has
held various executive positions here
at Medina 1 !
Mr.. Boyden also requested that L.
w. Boyden be released to go as his
assistant T.. w. Boyden, having
been branch manager at Chicago and
New York as veal as plant manager
and bee supply sales manager for the
home office at Medina, has had long
experience that can serve him we'll as
an assistant to A. /, Boyden.
Both L. Boyden and RlW. Boy
den will assume their new duties on or
about January IT,
In the years that the Boydens have
labored at Medina good sales organi-
zation has been built up, for which
they are given full measure of credit
by the company, who confidently ex-
pect that the sale of Root bee sup
plies can go triumphantly, on and that
the usual share of business for 1922
will be-secured.
Jesse Warren, who for many years
has had charge Of Airline honey sales
will continue in this capacity.
Mr.. Charles Tollafield, for several
years export sales manager of bee sup
plics and honey, will take charge al
this time of all bee supply sales Mr.
Tollafield is not new to the organiza-
ton, nor to the sale Of bee supplies
He has already done excellent work
| in this capacity, the officials state.
Mr.. M. ]. Deyell, for years manager
of the Root apiaries, and the man who
has built up these, aplarIes TO more
than $500 colonies while continuing tc
ship hundreds of colonies and thous-
ands Of queens nuclei every year, will
have active charge of the sale of bees
and queens. Mr.. Deyell will not
however, give up the management o1
the apiaries, but his long experience
| in the field and considerable expert
ence already in the sails of bees and
queens fit him especially for this po.
sition.
Mr.. ]. T. Calvert will return to Me,
dina from Los Angeles in the neal
future, Mrs. Calvert expecting to pro
ceed as soon as possible direct tc
Bradentown, Florida, to spend some
time with her father, A. /. Root.
Iii many ways the home company il
better prepared toserve the trade thar
ever before, say the officials, and thu
reaction against the high prices is now
Offset by present low prices which II
some cases have been cut to a greatel
degree than is really warranted by de
creases in cost. Already, they state
the business booked and in sight indi
Gates good season for 1922.
