BECAUSE IT LASTS 



That is One Argument in Favor of 

 Cypress as a Beelieeper's Lumber 



There are many qualities that make the value in lumber de- 

 pending, of course, on the uses to which they are put. But of 

 all virtues that of endurance comes tirst. The wood that 

 resists rot influences longest, especially when the wood is used 

 in a service by which it is exposed to wet and dry conditions and earth-contact — that wood is 

 accredited with being able to give the user the greatest INVESTMENT VALUE. 



No use tries the lasting qualities of lumber greater than that of Bee Hive construction. It is the 

 very duce to get lumber that will not too readily rot — unless one gets Cypress lumber. Then there 

 is a good show for endurance that means real money saved on Repairs You Don't 

 Have to Make. Try it, Mr. Beekeeper. 



STUDY THE WOOD QUESTION 



There's one way to get at this matter of endurance — through books of authority. Such are the 

 41 volumes of the internationally famous Cypress Pocket Library. These books are not "adver- 

 tising "—they are authoritative references on file in the libraries of scores of technical schools and 

 National institutes. Ask for Vol. 1 to start with ; it contains the complete U. S. Govt. Kept, on 

 Cypress, " The Wood Eternal," and a full list of the other volumes ; then branch out until you cover 

 the subject.
