Embargo on Bee Supplies 



In the East 



BEEKEEPERS in the Eastern States, particularly in New I*-ngland, should not delay ordering their stock of sup- 

 plies as early as possible. The Eastern railroads are congested and have even placed an embargo on shipments 

 to various points, refusing to accept freight until their roads are unburdened. Ordering your requirements a 

 month earlier t'lan usual will not cost any more and will assure you of having supplies on hand when the time comes 

 to use them. This will allow for any delay which might occur while in transit. 



Our New England States representatives, Ross Brothers Co., 90-92 Front Street, Worcester, Mass., have a 

 large supply of "Falcon " bee-supplies, and are especially equipped to handle the New I'^ngland States beekeepers' 

 orders whether they be large or small. 



Those beekeepers living in the New England States can order direct from the factory at Falconer, N. Y., or 

 can write for the name of the nearest dealer as they find it more convenient.
