WHY? 



To Beekeepers Everywhere: 



It isr especially to a new generation of beekeepers that we 

 want to say this. The older persons know it. We are a little 

 proud of it, too. 



Why is this Company today acknowledged everywhere to 

 be the leaders of the world in the Bee Supply business? It is 



BECAUSE 



We have been the pioneers in introducing to the bee- 

 keepers of America the best and most important bee appliances 

 in use today. We have gone out ahead, and, without counting 

 cost or trouble, have hunted for the new things in beekeeping 

 and proved or disproved their worth and practicability. We 

 have spent fortunes in money and years of time in experiment- 

 ing on beekeeping ideas. 



A FEW EXAMPLES 



To mention only a few^ of these big ideas worked into 

 practical appliances for the beekeeper and so enlarging his 

 possibilities for success, we mention : The Novice Honey Ex- 

 tractor, the Cowan Extractor, the Root Reversible Extractor, 

 the Weed Foundation Process, the Dovetailed Hive, the Hoff- 

 man Self-spacing Frame. 



To enlarge on only one of these great benefits to beekeep- 

 ers, may we draw attention to the fact that today we not only 

 make our own latest Root-Weed Foundation machinery, but w^e 

 make every machine in the world on which Weed-process foun- 

 dation is made — and that is practically all of it. 



We shall keep going on ahead, and discovering the new 

 things in bee supplies, just as we have been doing now for 50 

 years.
