Beekeepers, We are Ready! 



We are r'^ady for the biggest year in the history of beekeeping — ready 

 tv serve the beekeepers of America more prom])tly than ever, and with 

 equally as good goods as ever. We have anticipated the beekeepers' wants for 

 th.e big coming year of 1018. The high price for honey, and the prosperity 

 of most beekeepers in 1017, led us to begin filling our big warehouses with 

 beekeepers' necessities last fall. That's why we are ready now. 



Don't Delay 



You beekeepers have never before liad the promise of so prosperous 

 a year as the one that lies before you. Not only the high x)rice of honey but 

 a ]iatriotic duty urges you to produce every pound of honey possible in 

 1918. To this end you should make sure of your supplies NOW. Freights 

 are slow, and may be slower by next spring. The freight congestion of the 

 ]iast season may be repeated in even woi'se degree. DON'T be one of those 

 beekeepers whose bees will have to wait on delayed shipments.
