MARCH 15, 1913 



MARCH 



The last month before the busy season 

 for the beekeeper begins. Unless, with wise 

 forethought, you have already anticipated 

 your wants, you should place your order 

 without delay. New goods by the carload 

 are now coming in; and, though our ser- 

 vice is at all times the best, we can serve 

 you now with minimum delay and maxi- 

 mum satisfaction. 



The new catalogs have arrived, and are 

 being mailed. You will soon receive one 

 if your name is on our trade list; other- 

 wise you will- be supplied on receipt of a 

 postal-card request. Should you desire to 

 order in the mean time, the 1912 catalog 

 may be used. On cash orders in March, 

 1 per cent discount off catalog prices will 

 be allowed. 



Like the beekeeper whose letter follows, 

 vou will be pleased with PEIRCE SER- 

 VICE and ROOT QUALITY from OHIO'S 

 BEE CENTER. 



Mr. E. W. Peirce : — I want to thank you 

 for prompt shipment of my order. It came 

 in good shape. 



Yours truly, 



Alva E. Moore. 



Marlinton, W. V., Feb. 22, 1913. 



Mr. Moore also sends the name of a 

 friend to whom he wishes the PEIRCE cat- 

 alog sent. One will gladly be mailed to anj 

 beekeeping friend whose address you will 

 be kind enough to give.
