1917 AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL 401 



Why Order Early ? 



With the exceedingly high price of honey and the urging on the part of the State Department for 

 production of every ounce of produce possible, you, as a beekeeper, arc going to do your part 

 and have probably already made up your mind to increase your holdings in bees- to the limit of 

 your capacity in caring for them. 



Possibly, however, you have lost sight of the fact that it is greatly to your interest to get in your or- 

 ders for bee supplies now. 



Freights are Slow ^^^ congestion of last year may be repeated. Many beekeepers who ordered 

 ==^=^^^^==^ their supplies in February were barely able to get delivery in time for the 

 white clover flow. Others had to cancel orders, and still others had supplies arrive after the critical 

 storing period was past. You cannot afford to let your bees wait a day on delayed freight shipments. 



Early Order Discounts ^^ want as many early orders as possible. This gives us less of a rush 

 = in spring, when a toe large proportion of beekeepers order their sup- 

 Save You Money plies. This is why we can make a closer price for an order sent in be- 



fore the new year opens. If your banker were to offer you 15 per cent 

 interest on your deposits you would certainly grab the chance. A three or four per cent discount on 

 supplies for ordering them three months earlier than usual means sixteen to twenty per cent interest 

 on your money for the year, and you have your goods on time, without fail. 



Send us a list of your requirements. 

 We are in a position to give you a 

 very close estimate for early order. 



Are You Throwing Money Away ? 



No? But are you throwing away old combs, small lots of cappings, or else beeswax scrapings and 

 propolis from the tops of your frames when you clean them? If not, perhaps you are melting up 

 your combs in an old-fashioned way and getting only about half the wax out of them. 



Many beekeepers this year secured their season's supply of 



DADANT'S FOUNDATION 



by sending in their combs and cappings to be rendered into beeswax and made up into foundation. 

 Our high-pressure steam outfits get all the wav possible, save these same beekeepers an unpleas- 

 ant job and return more beeswax in the shape of foundation than they could get by the extra work 

 themselves. If you prefer, we will pay you Highest Cash Price for all beeswax rendered.
