BEESWAX 

 WANTED! 



Recent demand for comb foundation 

 has been good, and our stock of bees- 

 wax is running low. We offer for good 

 average quality and prompt shipment 

 30 cts. per lb. cash, or 32 in trade, de- 

 livered at Medina. Shipments from 

 the Pacific coast should be in barrels 

 or boxes. From other Western points, 

 pack in double bags to get the most 

 favorable rate. Be sure to mark the 

 shipment so it can be identified when 

 it arrives, and send us a shipping re- 

 ceipt with a statement of gross, tare, 

 and net weight shipped. This is im- 

 portant as it gives us something to 

 check so as to determine whether any 

 has been lost in transit.
