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 ^r 



'd^ an annual output of 30,000,000 sections and 100,000 hives. During all the years, in the face of •i^ 



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



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



^£. pense of quality. But it has steadfastly stood by its guns, maintaining one standard of quality and work- 1^ 



^ manship. LEWIS BEEWARE is the same today, was the same yesterday, and will be the same 7?

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

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