Beekeeping Service and Cash Selling 



Helps for Bigger Beekeeping Cash Selling --- Money Saving 



Every ambitious honey - 2:)ro(liicer 

 who wants more bees or who needs 

 more equipment to enlarge his bee- 

 keeping operations should learn of 

 our plan for co-operation. Honey will 

 not be so easily disposed of this year 

 as last and if you need any help per- 

 liaps we can furnish it. 



We are prepared to render service 

 in your financial, supply, producing, oi' 

 selling jiroblems. 



Cash Advances on Your Crops 



Being among the largest producers 

 of honey in the West we know the 

 business from the producer 's side and 

 we believe any ambitious producer 

 can enlai'ge his operations to satisfac- 

 tory proportions, if he knows our plan 

 of handling the honey crop and selling 

 bee supplies. You may be accommo- 

 dated with an advance upon your crop 

 on a contract i:)lan whereby you re- 

 ceive the market price less our com- 

 mission. Your crop prospects are of 

 real value and we know better than 

 any banker can be expected to know 

 what is a reasonable advance upon 

 such prospects. During the past sea- 

 son I sold about thirty carloads of 

 honey at a price of from 20c to 25c 

 per pound. 



If you do not care to contract, bear 

 us in mind when your honey is ready 

 for market. We will buy it at your 

 station and pay you as much or more 

 than you can secure elsewhere. Bees- 

 wax is always in demand and we can 

 use it at the highest market price 

 thruout the year. Our stock of bee- 

 keepers' supplies and honey-contain- 

 ers is ample for the beekeeper 's needs 

 and we can save you money on every 

 order. Our prices are based on cash 

 terms, but if you cannot conveniently 

 pay cash other arrangements can 

 doubtless be made. 



Give the Bees a Chance 



Our bees are wintering in fine shape. 

 While they have used up a 'good deal 

 of honey they are strong in bees and 

 brood. There is snow in the moun- 

 tains and most of our reservoirs are 

 full, so that we have prospects of a 

 good crop. Your bees are doubtless 

 in the same condition so that no 

 chances should be taken of getting 

 caught with too few supplies on hand 

 to get the surplus. It is not fair to 

 the bees to limit them with super 

 room when the honey flow is on. 



Any beekeeping or selling problem 

 that you have, of whatever nature, we 

 will endeavor to help you solve, and 

 any communication you make will be 

 treated in a confidential manner. Let 

 us hear from vou at once.
