Did You Get Caught 

 Last Summer? 



iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 



TODAY is not one bit too early to order your Bee 

 Supplies. If you should wait until July 1st, we 

 would try just as hard to handle your order 

 promptly, but you know what embargoes and freight 

 congestions mean, especially if you are one of the thou- 

 sands whose goods were tied up in transit last year un- 

 til the honey season was over. 



IF WE ALL MAKE ONE GOOD LONG STRONG 

 PULL TOGETHER, we won't feel like slackers, and 

 after the war is over we won't feel like sneaking out of 

 sight when war times are mentioned. 



Our part is to make supplies as good as we can and 

 as fast as we can — your part is to give your bees the 

 best care you know how to give them, and to make them 

 produce all the honey possible. 



To do this YOU MUST HAVE PLENTY OF HIVES, 

 SUPERS, FRAMES, FOUNDATION, EXTRACTORS, 

 SMOKERS, PLENTY OF EVERYTHING, used in your 

 work, and YOU MUST HAVE THEM IN TIME TO 

 USE THEM. 



THE GOVERNMENT IS SHIPPING HONEY TO 

 THE BOYS IN FRANCE — IT HELPS TO KEEP 

 THEM FIT. We're trying to do our part. Let's pull 

 together and help the boys take another trench. Don't 

 wait another day about sending us your order.
