tions. One is, that they will take other 

 widths tlian the 1 iri-l(j— an advantage 

 which cau not be said of the combined ship- 

 ping and honey crate. By the application 

 of a little arithmetic we find that tlie T su- 

 per and the Moore crate will take tlie follow- 

 ing-named widths : 1 l.l-ui. 1 ll-l(i. U, and 

 If scant, and the numl)er of tliese required 

 to fill a crate is, respecti^'ely, 28, ;52, ;>(i, and 

 40. Tliese sizes are figured without the use 

 of separators ; but our foreman says that all 

 of the above will shrink after leaving the 

 saw, to permit the use of separators if de- 

 sired. The sizes above do not include tlie 

 7-to-tlie-foot secticm, but the latter may be 

 made to fit the super by piecing it out with 

 another width of section. 



The T super and Moore crate can l:)oth be 

 tiered up ; l)ut the combined shipping and 

 honey crate is not so coiistriictcd as to ad- 

 rait of this feature inside the Siruplicitij hive. 



We can furnish the T super, made as de- 

 scribed above, in the flat, including T tins 

 and the L. tins, for 15c each; 10 for .fl.lO, 

 and 100 for $10.00. T tins when desired sep- 

 arately will be 12c for 10, or $1.00 per 100. If 

 desired by mail, double above prices. L. 

 tins, separately, oOc per 100.

 per lb. Our seed is all clean and fresh, havfng- been 

 grown in 1886. 



L.A.WN-MOWERS. 



We sold so many of these last season, that, not- 

 withstanding: the advance in all iron g-oods, the 

 manufacturers have g-iven us better prices, and we 

 reduce the price to you .50c on each machine. Prices 

 will be. 10 in., $5.(Kt;']3 in., $,5..50: and 14 in., $6.00. 



COMB FOUNDATION. 



We have made some new mills to run by steam- 

 power, and are turning out better fdn. tlian ever 

 before. We now offer four grades: Heavy brood, 

 from -1 to 6 ft. per lb. ; light brood, 7 or 8 ft. per lb. ; 

 thin, about 10 or 11 ft. per lb,, and extra thin tlat- 

 bottom, about 13 or li ft. to the pound. Send for 

 samples, and a new price list with revised prices. 



BROOD F({AMES. 



The price of our regular all-wood dovetailed 

 brood-frames, including comb guides, is reduced to 

 $1.30 per 100. The same, pierced for wire, without 

 the conib-guidcs, same jn-ice: wire and tin bars in- 

 cluded, 40c per 100 extra. Metal-cornered frames, 

 $1.00 per 100 more than all-wood. Frames with re- 

 versing devices and metal corners, .*3.3J per lUO 

 more than all-wood; without the metal corners, 

 80c lesg. 



/' UHES A n VA .V< ' ED. 



It always gives us more pleasure to reduce prices 

 than to advance them; but we are sometimes com- 

 pelled to advance to get cost. 



SCREWS, BESSKMER STEEL. 



The price of wood-screws has advanced so much 

 that we are comi)elled to withdraw prices in coun- 

 ter list, and advanced prices appear in next edition 

 of price list. 



WIRE NAILS. 



We have revised the wholesale rate of wire nails, 

 making a slight advance; but the retail price re- 

 mains the same, except 'a inch, which will be 18c 

 per lb. instead of 17. 



HON BY-TUMBLERS. 



The manufacturers of glass honey-tumblers have 

 advanced their price to us because of the general 

 advance in glass goods; and as we sold these very 

 close we are comi)elled to advance also. 



GLASS. 



(Jlass has been hard to get for some time, and 

 prices have been advancing; and from the present 

 outlook they are liable to advance still more. We 

 hope it may not last long, and we have not marked 

 up the prices of glass in our price list yet; but if 

 there is any more advance we shall have to charge 

 more than our list price; and if we do you will have 

 this notice in advance. 



SMITH'S FORCE-PUMP, OR SPJIINKLEH. 



We have for some time been selling these pumps 

 at wholesale lower than the manufacturer himself, 

 though we did not know it, and it has caused him 

 no little trouble in the way of complaints from his 

 customers. He came to see us a few days ago, and 

 we agreed to make our pi-ices the same as his and 

 other wholesale dealers'. This necessitates some 

 advance in prices, and we hereby cancel all quota- 

 tions and printed prices, and substitute the follow- 

 ing: 



Price of one pump, $1.00; 3 for $l.?tO, or 3 for $3 7.5. 

 A crate of 13 for .$9.00; a crate of 34 for $16.00; a crate 

 of .50 for $30.00, or 100 for $55.00. 



Now, to compensate for this advance the pump 

 has been gi-eatly improved. The plunger is made 

 dilTerently, and these improvements make the pumj) 

 cost more; hence the advance in price. There vvi II 

 be no deviation from these prices, except the cash 

 discounts quoted from time to time. When ordered 

 with other goods they will be shipped from here, 

 and thus you will save freight by ordering of us. 



AinnrioNs Axj) iji I'uoj EMJjyrs. 



We have made quite a few additions and improve- 

 ments which appear in the 6iith edition of our price 

 list, first among which is our 



ONE-STORY CHAFF HIVES. 



We have added to the price list a cut of this hive, 

 with table of prices. 



T SUPERS. 



These are to be used to tier up inside the Simp, or 

 chaff hive. They are illustrated and described else- 

 where in this issue. 



SAW-T.\BLE FOR HlVE-MAKING. 



'fhis is illustrated and described elsewhere in this 

 issue. The table of prices of hives in the Hat has 

 been revised, and a new table of 



HIVES IN FLAT, INCLUDING INSIDE FURNITURE, 



Has been added. This we hope will be a help to 

 many in making their orders, and in seeing at a 

 glance the cost of different hives camplctemthe 

 Hat, without figuring it all out from difi'erent parts 

 of the list. 



Many other changes have been made too numer- 

 ous to mention here, and that you may be posted 

 you had better drop us a postal "for a new list and 

 samples of our comb foundation. 



GOSPEL HYMNS. 



We arc now able to furnish Gospel Hymns con- 

 solidated, in paper covers, without music, for only 

 5 cts., and the little book contains all of the Gospel 

 Hymns that have ever been published in numbers 

 1, 3, 3. 4. Sent by mail for 6 cts. These are especial- 

 ly intended for revival meetings, and will probably 

 prove to be a great convenience. We can furnish 

 10 copies for 48 cts., or 100 copies for $4.60.
