SPECIAL 



10 FER CENT REDUCTION 

 FOR 60 DAYS ON 



WIRE NETTING, 



SHORT ROLLS, ETC. 



We submit below, corrected from last issue, a 

 list of tlie short rolls and remnants of wire netting 

 that we have received from the factory. We 

 still have a good supply of 3-iuch No. 19 netting 4 

 feet high, which we still offer at these special prices: 

 1 roll, $3.60; 5 rolls, $17.50; 10 rolls, $34.00. This you 

 notice is 10c a roll higher than our last offer on this 

 size. We have the 3-itich Nos. 19 and 20, 60 and 72 

 inches wide only, other widths all sold. We have put 

 the price on the following pieces at the same rate as 

 full rolls, except on tlie 72 inch, on which we offer 

 an extra 10^ discount. 



Of 2-inch mesh No. 19 wire, we have the following 

 remnants and short rolls at %c per square foot. 

 The figures at the left give the width in inches, and 

 the other figures give the length of each piece in 

 feet. Multiply this by the width in feet, then take 

 two-thiids of the result to find the price of each 

 piece.

 single-piece orders; or, in addition to above, on 

 quantity orders. First come, first served. General- 

 ly these pieces go off very rapidl.v, and it ma.y be 

 well to name a second or third choice in case your

AUQITE STOVE=MATS 



REDUCED AGAIN. 



The stove-mat lias pn)viMi so 

 good a thing that there are man.v 

 imitators, and prices ure again 

 reduced, owing to tlie competition 

 l)etween the various manufac- 

 turers. We consider none equal 

 to the original "Augite," and we 

 Irmrtle it in preference to any 

 otiier. In the following reduced 

 prices we have got down to "hard- 

 pan," and we do not look for fur- 

 ther reductions. Price 10c each; 

 $1.00 per dozen; 6 dozen for $.5.50, or 12 dozen for 

 $10.50. By mail, 6c each extra on all sent singly, or 

 5 cents each on two or more in one package.

Books for Bee- Keepers and others. 



Any of tkese books on which postage is not given will be 

 forwarded by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price. 



In buying books, as every thing else, we are liable to disap- 

 pointment if we make a purchase without seeing the article. 

 Admitting that the bookseller could read all the books he 

 offers, as he has them for sale, it were hardly to be expected 

 he would be tlie one to mention all the faults, as well as good 

 things about a book. I very much desire that those who favor 

 me with their patronage shall not be disappointed, and there- 

 fore I am going to try to prevent it by mentioning all the 

 faults, so far as I can, that the purchaser may know what he 

 is getting. In the following list, books that I approve I have 

 marked with a * ; those I especially approve, "* ; those that 

 are not up to times, t ; books that contain but little matter for 

 the price, large type, and much space between the lines, t ; 

 foreign, §. The bee-books are all good. 



BIBLES, HYMN-BOOKS, AND OTHER GOOD BOOKS. 



As many of the bee-books are sent with other goods by 

 freight or express, incurring no postage, we give prices sepa- 

 rately. You will notice, that you can judge of the size of the 

 books very well by the amount required for postage on each.

 tifully bound, and fully illustrated. Price 50 c. Two copies
