\V. W. CARY & SON, LYONSVILLE, MASS. 



We wish to recommend this old established firm to the 

 notice of our readers in the New England States. It is one of 

 the oldest if not rA« oldest concern in the bee business, being 

 at one time intimately associated with Mr. Langstroth. 

 Messrs. Cary carry a full line of bee-supplies, and are in a 

 position to ship very promptly — in fact, almost by return mail.
