To Our Friends and Patrons: 



In presenting- our claims for a continuance of the generous patronage bestowed upon 

 us during' the past year, we beg to submit a few facts concerning the bee industry, which 

 may serve to interest our patrons as well as those engaged in the business. 



Owing to the constantly increasing demand for comb foundation and beekeeiDers' 

 supplies, we were compelled to enlarge our capacity, install new maehineiy, and otherwise 

 improve our plant, enabling us to produce 500 pounds of comb foundation per day. This 

 has been made possible through the generous patronage given us during the past years. 



Although it has been a difficult matter to secure enough beeswax to supply the demand, 

 we have on hand a much larger stock than we have ever had before. We also buy and sell 

 I'.oney at ruling prices. On account of the increasing demand for this product the prices 

 in Texas have been higher than in many other States. Bulk comb honey, in the 5%-inch 

 frames, same as described in our catalog, page 11, Fig. 540, is produced almost exclusively 

 in Texas. In nearly all parts of tliis State it is best to use the ten-frame hives. 



It is the intention of the present management to increase materially the capital of the 

 company, with the view of carrying a stock of supplies that will meet all the requiremeuts 

 of the trade. This will enable us to effect prompt shipments at all times, and thus avoid 

 any delay and annoyance to customers on account of shortage of stock. 



It will be our endeavor to accord our customers all possible courtesies and considera- 

 tion in any matters that may arise. Mistakes will occur at times, as is only natural, and 

 we only ask that they be brought to our attention so that they may be rectified. Our cus- 

 tomers may be assured of the best quality of goods at as reasonable prices as are consistent 

 with business methods.
