GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE January, 1919 



lllllllllllllll 



30 CTS. A POUND 



Is what the British beekeeper has had to 

 pay in transportation charges alone, in 

 order to get Dadant's Foundation. 



When shipping conditions became so acute last spring, it was very 

 difficult to get ocean transportation for anything, and it was some 

 time before the usual shiiDment of foundation to our agents in the 

 British Isles could be dispatched, and then only at the phenomenal 

 charge of 30 cents per jjound to cover land and ocean freiglit, in- 

 surance, cartage, war risk, etc. 



But even at that high rate, the beekeepers of the British Isles were 

 insisting on being supplied with ''Dadant^s Foundation." They 

 know what it means to get a pound or two more of honey in these 

 times of sugar scarcity.

THE SHEFFIELD BEEKEEPERS' SOCIETY 

 Hon. Secretary — G. Barratt. 



Dadant & Sons, Hamilton, Illinois. 



Gentlemen: I shall be greatly obliged if you will inform 

 me whether there is any likelihood of getting foundation thru 

 for the coming season. I do not intend to do without your 

 foundation unless I am obliged to do so. If possible, will you 

 please send me a supply by parcel post. I think the limit is 

 11 pounds. I want light brood, British standard size.

But the original cost, plus .30 cents per pound transportation, is no 

 object if the results obtained are proportionate. 



The Secretai-y of the Sheffield Society is evidently one of those who 

 gets the results. Why not do likewise? Transportation charges to 

 the most distant points in the United States are only a small per 

 cent of what our allies have to pay.
