GLEAN INGS IN BEE CULTURE January, 1918 



Why Order Early? 



With the exceedingly high price of honey and the urging on the part of the 

 State Department for the production of every ounce of produce possible, you as a 

 beekeeper are going to do your part and have probably already made up your 

 mind to increase your holdings in bees to the limit of your capacity in caring for 

 them. 



Possibly, however, you have lost sight of the fact that it is greatly to your 

 interest to get in your orders for bee supplies now. 



Frpiirlits arp Slow The congestion of last year may be repeated. Many 

 ± icigiiLo die oiijw beekeepers who ordered their supplies in February 

 were barely able to get delivery in time for the white clover flow. Others had 

 to cancel orders, and still others had supplies arrive after the critical storing 

 period was over. YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO LET YOUR BEES WAIT A 

 DAY ON DELAYED FREIGHT SHIPMENTS. 



TToT-Kr CirAf^r- TliarTkiinte We Want as many early orders as possible. 



Save You Money too large proportion of beekeepers order their 



•^ supplies. This is why we can make a closer 



price for an order sent in before the new year opens. If your bankers were to 

 offer you fifteen per cent interest on your deposits, you would certainly grab the 

 chance. A three or four per cent discount on supplies for ordering them three 

 months earlier than usual means ten or fifteen per cent interest on your money 

 for tne year, and you have your goods on time, without fail. 



Send Us a List of Your Requirements. We are in a Posi- 

 tion to Give You a Very Close Estimate for Early Order. 



Are You Throwing Money Away? 



No? But are you throwing away old combs, small lots of capping?, or else 

 beeswax scrapings and propolis from the tops of your frames when you clean 

 them? If not, perhaps you are melting up your combs in an old-fashioned way 

 and getting only about half the wax out of them. 



Many beekeepers last year secured their season's supply of 



Dadant's Foundation 



by sending in their combs and cappings to be renr'erei into beeswax and made 

 up into foundation. Our high-pressure steam outfits get aU the wax possible, 

 save these same beekeepers an unpleasant job and return more beeswax in the 

 shape of foundation than they could get by the extra work themselves. If you 

 prefer we will pay you HIGHEST CASH PRICE for all beeswax rendered.
