\^E are always in the market for bees- 

 wax, and will pay the best market 

 price. We used last year in the manufac- 

 ture of Comb Foundation over 



EIGHTY TONS 



and are likely to need fully as much for 

 this year's trade. Send your wax direct to 

 us, being sure to pack it carefully for 

 safe shipment, and mark it so we can easily 

 tell who sends it. Write to us, at the same 

 time sending a shipping receipt, and stating 

 weight of shipment, both gross and net. 



We are paying at this date for pure aver- 

 age beeswax delivered here, 29 cents per 

 pound cash, or 31 cents in trade. On 

 choice yellow wax we pay a premium of 

 one to two cents a pound.
