Now is the time for all Eastern and Southern 

 Bee-Keepers to send in their orders for Bee- 

 Hives and Bee-Keepers' Supplies. We have a 

 special offer to make to all Ea.stern and Southern 

 buyers. Let us know your wants and we will 

 lake pleasure in showing you that we can really 

 save you nionev over our Eastern Competitors. 

 The reasons are two-fold. In the first place, we 

 are located in the lumber region of Wi.sconsin, 

 and get onr supply of lumber direct from the 

 mills; whereas, our Eastern competitors are buy- 

 ing lumber in our .State and paving freight on 

 rough lumber, which weighs much more than 

 the finished product, to their Eastern factories, 

 and then freighting the finished product back all 

 over the West. In the second place, we support 

 no branch houses or middle men. We sell direct 

 to the consumer, and the only waj- a dealer can 

 make a profit off our goods is by buying the 

 larger qtiantity which is open to any purchaser, 

 and selling at the small quantity rate. The cost 

 of an article is based on the cost of material (here 

 we shine I. the cost of labor, and a reasonable 

 profit to the manufacturer. We sell our goods 

 on this basis, while the manufacturer who sup- 



ports branch houses all over the United .States, 

 and some in foreign lands, must add to what we 

 would consider a fair selling price, the freight 

 charges from his factory to his supply-house; 

 he must have interest on his iuveslment while 

 his goods are waiting for a purchaser; he has 

 rent to pay every month his branch house is kept 

 open; he has additional insurance on the goods 

 in branch houses; he must pay cartage from the 

 cars to his branch house, and again back to the 

 cars. Then the manager and clerks in the 

 branch house must be paid. .\11 these things 

 tend to increase the cost of the commoditj- to the 

 consumer. If prices are the same at the branch 

 house as at the home factory, then the price at 

 the home factory must be raised to meet these 

 constantly increasing expenses; and the bee- 

 keeper who takes his supply from the home 

 factofy is helping to support the branch houses 

 in different States. 



We .sell f. o. b cars at Hudson, with an allow- 

 ance on freight for goods going east of Chicago. 

 Buy your Bee Hives and supplies from us and 

 you will get the goods at first cost.
