Plan Now for 1919! 



The present price of honey suggests to every 

 beekeeper from the Atlantic to the Pacific the 

 opportunity to turn his apiary, whether large 

 or small, into an enterprise that should pay 

 large dividends from this time on. It is high- 

 ly improbable that the price of honey will 

 ever return to the low levels reached in 1915. 

 The necessary steps for maximum profits from 

 the apiary are 



1. SUITABLE EQUIPMENT 



2. GOOD LOCATION 



3. INTELLIGENT MANAGEMENT 



4. BEST STRAIN OF BEES 



Supplies: In the matter of equipment for the 

 apiary, our line is complete and carried in 

 stock in many distributing centers. In these 

 days of transportation difficulties, orders must 

 be placed very early to insure delivery at time 

 required. Prices have advanced from time 

 to time and if you put off ordering until 

 spring, you may have to pay more, and suffer 

 serious delay, but now — You Can Save 10%. 

 All orders accompanied by cash for bee sup- 

 plies received prior to December 1st will be 

 entitled to an early order discount of 10% 

 from our August 1st price list. We give this 

 discount because we want to keep running to 

 full capacity during our dull season. By or- 

 dering now you are being patriotic for two 

 reasons: First, you are keeping manufactur- 

 ing operations at full capacity without over- 

 taxing valuable warehouse space; and second- 

 ly, you are relieving the traffic congestion and 

 saving yourself the delay which will result in 

 waiting until next spring.
