Please mention the Reo 



Now is the time for all Eastern and Southern 

 Bee-Keepers to send in their orders for Bee- 

 Hives and Hee-Keepers' Supplies. We have a 

 special offer to make to all Eastern and Southern 

 buyers. Let us know your wants and we will 

 take pleasure in showing you that we can really 

 save you money over our Eastern Competitors. 

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

 are located in the lumber region of Wisconsin, 

 and get our supply of lumber direct from the 

 mills; whereas, our Eastern competitors arc 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. Inlhe second place, we support 

 no branch houses or middle men. We sell direct 

 to the consumer, and the only way a dealer can 

 make a profit off our goods is by buying the 

 larger quantity which is open to aiiy purchaser, 

 and selling at the small quantity rate. The cost 

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

 we shine), the cost of labor, and a reasonable 

 profit to the inan\ifacturcr. We .sell our goods 

 on this basis, while the manufacturer who sup- 



ports branch houses all over the United Static, 

 and some in foreigii lands, must add to what we 

 would consider a fair .selling price, the freight 

 charges from his factory to his supply-hou.se; 

 he must have interest on his investment while 

 his goods are wailing 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. All these things 

 tend to increase the cost of the commodity to the 

 consumer. If prices are the same at the branch 

 house as at the home factory, then the price at 

 the honi.e factory must be raised to meet these 

 constantly increasing expenses; aiid the bee- 

 ktei>er who takes his supply from the home 

 factory is helping to support the branch houses 

 in different Stales. 



We sell f. o. b cars at Hiidson, 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.
