The name of our famous line of bee-keepers' supplies 

 which for nearly thirty years has been noted for that fine 

 workmanship and material w^hich have forced others to make 

 a better grade of goods. NONE ARE OUR EQUALS YET ! 



Our workmen, who have learned the making of our brand 

 of bee-goods, are still w^ith us, and our customers are assured 

 of that high grade of excellence which w^e have maintained 

 in the pa^. 



"Falcon" foundation has w^on a reputation on account 

 of its perfecfl manufacture, its cleanness, toughness, and the 

 readiness w^ith w^hich bees accept it. No acid or other in- 

 jurious substances which destroy the "life" of foundation 

 are used in our special process. We -clarify the be^ grades 

 of pure beesw^ax, and by our process of sheeting subjecft it to 

 enormous pressure until it finally passes through perfect 

 foundation -mills, and is cut, papered, and boxed, ready for 

 shipment. SAMPLE FREE. Every pound equal to samples. 

 Write for prices. Highest price, cash or trade, paid for Beeswax. 



We were the first to produce a polished secflion, and w^e 

 have yet to see any sections equal to ours. Our special ma- 

 chines for sanding and polishing sections give bright, smooth, 

 polished sections w^hich can not be equaled. We use only 

 selected basswood, the w^hite part of the timber only being 

 used. We furnish all styles of sections and supers for the 

 same at' one uniform price for beew^ay and one for plain.

For northern localities there is no better hive for out-of- 

 door wintering than the air-spaced, and it is just as conven- 

 ient for summer management. An air space is the least con- 

 ductor of sudden changes in temperature, and our Air-spaced 

 Hives have given perfedl satisfaction in the hands of practical 

 bee-keepers in the North everyAvhere. The air-chamber may 

 be filled with chaff if one desires. The same frames, supers, 

 covers, and other fixtures are used as with the Dovetailed 

 hives. 



PRICE OF AIR-SPACED HIVES 

 S-frame, IH-story. complete for comb honey, in flat, 1, $2 80; 5, $12.50 

 10- " l%- 1. 2.85; 5. 13.25 



Air-spaced hives are cheaper than chaff -packed hives or than 

 Dovetailed hives with w^inter cases, and are much less trouble, 

 as bees do not have to be packed in fall and unpacked in spring. 



We have on press a booklet for beginners, " Simplified Bee- 

 keeping," and a circular of Beginners' Outfits. These give 

 complete in^rucftions for the beginner, «nd we shall be pleased 

 to place on our list the names of all w^ho reque^ them; and as 

 soon as printed, copies w^ill be mailed free.
