Texas Bee-K eepers. 



fUlPtl flfflPP ^^^ beg to announce the opening of a'branch office and warehouse at 

 aUull UlllUu. 4:3s W. Houston St., San Antonio, Texas. Rates of transportation from 



Medina \a less tlian car-load lots are high, and it talies a long time for a local shipment to 



roach Southern Texas points. 



Low Freiglit an 

 Qiiiclf Delivery, 



San Autouio as 

 Sliipiiiiig-Doiiit. 



ij To secure these~two necessary advantages — low freight and quick de- 

 ll liverj' — and to be better prepared to serve the interests of our Texas 



friends, is our reason for establishing this new branch office. No other 



point in Southern Te.xas is better adapted to serve as a distributing point 

 It has four great railroads — the Southern Pacific R. R. east and West — the , 

 „ International and Great Northern R. R. from Laredo up through San An- 

 il tonio and Central Texas, the San Antonio and Arkansas PassR. R., and 



San Antonio and Gulf R. R. It also has the American, Wells-Fargo and 



Pacific Express Companies. 



We have secured as managers Mr. Udo Toepperwein, formerly of Leon 

 Springs, and Mr. A. Y. Walton, Jr., both of whom are well known to the 

 bee-keepers of South and Central Texas. They are also thoroughly familiar with practical 

 bee-keeping and all matters associated with it, and any orders sent to this branch will receive 

 I>romi)t, careful attention. 



As usual our motto is to furnish the best goods of the most approved pattern. 

 We do not undertake to compete in price with all manufacturers. Bee-keepers 

 have learned tliat it does not pay to buy cheap supplies, for a saving of 10 cents on the first 

 cost of a hive may be a loss of many times this amount by getting poorly made and ill-fitting 

 material. Every year brings us many proofs that oiu' policy of " the best goods " is a correct 

 one. 



Very few changes in prices will be made in our new catalog, so do not delay 

 your order, but send it at once. You will be allowed a refund if lower prices 

 arc made, and in ease of higher prices ruling in the new catalog, if any, you will secure the 

 Ijenelil by ordering now. Catalog and estimates may be had by applying "to the address given 

 below. 



Whenever you visit San Antonio you are invited to call at our office and 

 make it your headquarters. Here you will find a display of Apiarian Sup- 

 plies not equaled elsewhere in Texas. You will also rind on file the leading bee-journals to 

 pass pleasantly your leisure time. 



QllQIliull PotQlniT Some of you may read Spanish, or have a bee-keeping friend who does, 

 UlldUlDll udllllU^i If so, call for our Spanish catalog. It's sent free.
