Advance in Prices of Hives, etc. 



It is six years or more since we made the last advance in price of hives, sections, and other wooden goods, 

 with a few exceptions. During- this time the general trend of prices of a great many commodities has been 

 gradually upward. During the business depression of the last two years some of the lower grades of lumber 

 were reduced in price; but the better grades, especially of white pine and basswood, the material which we use, 

 has held right up, and in some cases are higher. General business conditions are already greatly improved, 

 and lumber and other materials are advancing. The cost of living has increased, and the rate of wages as well. 

 The farmers, as a rule, have abundant crops, and are getting excellent prices for their products. While the 

 bee-keepers have not generally had as favorable a season as last year, the margin on hives and sections at old 

 prices has become so much reduced because of increasing cost that we feel obliged to make an advance. Some 

 of the revised prices are given this issue. A correction sheet, giving new prices, will be mailed on application.
