HERE IS THE ANSWER: 



^ 



^1^ The 6. B. Lewis Company has been in the business of manufacturing bee supplies for forty- ^^ 



^^ one years. It has grown from a carpenter shop to a ptant covering nearly six acres of ground, with <x^ 



^ an annual output of 30,000,000 sections and 100,000 flives. During all the years, in the face of ^ 



^C advancing prices on material and labor, the scarcity of suitable lumber, competition of Jj^ 



^\ cheaper and inferior goods, it has had many opportunities to cheapen its product at the ex- J^ 



^£ pense of quality. But it has steadfastly stood by its guns, maintaining one standard of quatity and work- X|^ 



^^ manship. LEWIS BEEWARE is the same today, was the same yesterday, and will be the same nj^ 



^^ tomorrow. ^^ 



^^ Now, what about the workmanship in these goods ? What skill do they represent V In a word, Jjfe 



^ - what is their personality ? The business has been under one management, and the lumber ^ 



Sv has been bought by one buyer for twenty years. He is still managing the business and 



^f buying the lumber. The head mechanic came into the factory when a boy. He has been 



^V supervising for thirty-six years. The Bee-hive superintendent has been devoting his life to 



^^ making Bee-hives for thirty years. The Section boss has been watching the Lewis Section Mr 



vf^ machinery and output for twenty-nine years. These men represent the skill, the brains ¥^ 



^ and the conscience that go in the goods. We ask you again -DOES THIS MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU ? W 



^ A WORD ABOUT LEWIS PACKING— The Lewis Company also make a business of Packing M^ 



V^ Boxes; therefore, they know how goods should be packed. A patent woven wood and wire y^ 



^C package, made only by the Lewis Company, is employed largely in packing. This makes Jjfc 



^\ the package light, compact and damage proof. ^^ 



^ WHO IS BACK OF THESE GOODS ?— The LEWIS COMPANY has for forty one years stood ^ 



^C back of every transaction it has ever made. On examination of Lewis goods, if they are J#^ 



^ not as represented, you are not asked or expected to keep them. This is our guarantee, ^^
