FLAX BOARD 



Flax Board is now used by thousands of beekeepers East and West. We 

 have in our office hundreds of unsolicited letters from some of the largest and 

 most progressive beekeepers in the United States, saying that it is lust the thing 

 that they have been looking for for many years, and that they are putting in on 

 every hive in their apiary. 



The cost of Flax Board is small. It undoubtedly will pay foi itself many 

 times every season. You. of course, know that you must protect your bees 

 against the cold in spring if you want to rear brood for the early honey crop- You 

 also know that most of the heat escapes at the top of your hive while the cold 

 comes in at ihe bottom. With the use of Flax Board, however, you can entirely 

 overcome this. 



We will gladly send you a small sample free ifjyo will write for it
