Locations for Bee-Keepers 



The Santa Fe Southwest has been declared by experts, to 

 be the greatest Bee Country in the World. Hundreds of loca- 

 tions in New Mexico, Arizona and Southern California are now 

 ready for the man who knows how to take advantage of the op- 

 portunities ofifered. 



New irrigation works have been estabHshed and the land 

 planted to Oranges, Lemons, Alfalfa, and other honey-yielding 

 plants. 



The honey produced is a clear white product of unusual 

 flavor, and there is a steady demand at remunerative prices. 



The climate is ideal for both bee-life and honey-making. 

 The honey ripens rapidly and goes to market in perfect condi- 

 tion. 



I have a number of illustrated pamphlets descriptive of the 

 country served by the Santa Fe. I will gladly mail you copies 

 on request.
