: 



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 tills 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 effort 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."
