Mexico as a Bee-Country 



B. A, Hadsell. one of the most experienced 

 and largest bee-keepers in tlie world— has 

 made six trips to Mexico, investigating that 

 place as a bee -country, and is so infat- 

 uated with it that he is closing out his bees 

 in Arizona. He has been to great expense 

 in getting up a finely illustrated 32-page book- 

 let, describing the tropics of Mexico as a 

 Bee-Man's Paradise, which is also superior 

 as a farming, stock-raisingandfruit country. 

 Where mercury ranges between 55 and g8 

 Frost and sun-stroke is unknown. Also a 

 great health resort. He will mail this book 

 Free by addressing. yAiat

 some other Veils do.

ECONOMY: 



ECONOMY TO YOURSELF 

 ECONOMY TO YOUR BEES 



Are Two Es.seiitial Points Gained by Using 



Dittmer Process Comb Foundation 



Because it is the same TASTE, and the same 

 SMELL, and the same FIRMNESS, as the COMB 

 the Honey-Bees make themselves. It is the more 

 acceptable to them because it is not like their OWN 

 COMB. 



Remember, Mr. Bee-Keeper, that to you HONEY 

 IS MONEY— then use 



Dittmer Process Comb Foundation 

 Work for a Full-Capacity Honey-Crop. 



Send for Samples. All Supplies at Prices you appreciate.
