IS THIS WORTH ANYTHING TO YOU? 



When you consider buying Bee Supplies, ask yourself these questions : 





^ Where can I buy (not the most) the best for my money? ^ 



^ What kind of material will I get? ^ 



^ What sort of workmanship will be furnished? W 



^ How will these goods be packed? ^ 



^ Who are making and standing back of these goods? yt 



^ What are their facilities for distribution? ^ 



M HERE IS THE ANSWER: ^ 



^ 



^ 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 plant covering nearly six acres of ground, with ^ 



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



^£. advancing prices on material and labor, the scarcity of suitable lumber, competition of 



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



^i^ pense of quality. But it has steadfastly stood by its guns, maintaining one standard of quality and work- n^ 



^^ manship. LEWIS BEEWARE is the same today, was the same yesterday, and wiU be the same "'^ 



^(% tomorrow. 



^^ Now, what aboutthe workmanship in these goods ? What skill do they represent? In a word, 



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

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

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

 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 

 machinery and output for twenty-nine years. These men represent the slvill, tlie brains 

 and the conscience that go in the goods. We ask you again— DOES THIS MEAN ANYTHING TO VOU ? 



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

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

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

 the package light, compact and damage proof. 



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

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

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

 and applies to Lewis distributing houses as well as the factory. The Lewis Company has J?R 

 a reputation for fair and square dealing second to none. T?
