FIGURE THIS OUT FOR YOURSELF 



If you buy Bee-Supplies NOW that you will need in April, 

 you save money at the rate of 12 percent on the $. 



THREE PERCENT is the amount of our early order discount on cash purchases in January. 

 January to April is just three months — % of a year. Now 3 percent for 3 months is interest at the rate of 12 

 percent per year — so you see why we urge early orders accompanied by cash this month. 



ANOTHER reason is that we can serve you better now than three months hence. In a few weeks we 

 will be putting up carload shipments for our dealers and distributing centers, and every efifort in our big plant 

 — the largest establishment in the world devoted to the manufacture of bee-supplies — will be directed to filling 

 rush orders. You will be just as anxious for your goods as our other patrons, and will deserve and receive the 

 same attention — no matter what the amount of your order may be, but 



We can Serve you Better Now 



and we want to make it worth your while to place an early order. Try this on a part of your list anyway. 

 Saving at the rate of 12 percent per year ought to interest everybody. 



We Manufacture Everything in Bee-Supplies
