BECAUSE IT LASTS 



That is One Argument in Favor of 

 Cypress as a Beekeeper's Lumber 



f= There are many qualities that make the value in lumber de- ^^Xif V(PiJ 



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



all virtues that of endurance comes first. 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 deuce to get lumber that wiU 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 ai-e not 

 "advertising "—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. 

 Rept. on Cypress, "The Wood Eternal," and a full list of the other volumes ; then branch out until 

 you cover the subject.
