 manifested in our new NEARER TO NATURE 

 Weed Comb Foundation shows that we will use 

 larger stocks of beeswax than ever before. We 

 want all of your choice yellow wax for our new

 oft" flavor, ship this to us also, as we can sell it 

 after remelting: it to a special trade which we have 

 developed, not requiring a fine flavor or 

 color. We are paying today 38c in cash or 40c in 

 trade. Ship your wax today if you have a large 

 Quantity, before the advance in freight rates. Pack 

 our wax in double sacks. , Put a tag in each sack 

 with your name and address, and number of poimds 

 you ship. Use no paper or other packing. Boxes 

 or hairels may be used if burlap sacks are not avail- 

 able; but be sure they are securely nailed so they 

 may not be broken open in transit.
