Fred W. Muth Co.
Honey and Beekeeping Supplies
204 Walnut St. Cincinnati, Ohio

Mr. Fred W. Muth is a son of the late Chas. F. Muth. His firm has built up a large business in bee-supplies and honey. We think we are safe in saying that "Fred" has traveled more thousands of miles in the interest of honey sales than any other living man. His firm occupies three large floors at 51 Walnut St. We wouldn't dare estimate the number of carloads of honey he had stock, in both 5-gallon cans and in barrels, bit it looked as if there was enough to sweeten half of the country. There is no question but that The Fred W. Muth Co. does its share if the honey business, and also of bee supplies, as well. - American Bee Journal. Page 396, December, 1909
