Bee-Hives Thirty Years Old. 



Bee-hives which were made by Mr. Falconer in the early eighties have, 

 been in constant use ever since, and are now doing good service in the apiary 

 of one of our foremen. These hives are **f^alcon" double-walled hives, and 

 have withstood for these many years the rigor of the CUiautauqua winters. 

 And to-day these thirty-year-old hives are in excellent shape, and good for 

 the battle of as many more winters. 



Is it any wonder that Mr. Falconer's hives have been renow^ned for 

 their good material and good workmanship ? It is on this solid foundation 

 of substantial hives and perfect goods that our business has been built. 



For nearly forty years we have directed our work along lines of prog- 

 ress in constructing better hives, in perfecting machinery specially adapted 

 for hive manufacture, and, as never before, we are making the most substan- 

 tial, the best-fitting hive of the clearest lumber ever put on the market. 



White-Pine Lumber for 1912 Hives. 



We have been fortunate in securing the best white pine for hives 

 which it has been our pleasure to offer to bee-keepers for some years. In 

 1912 we will start a horde of hives on their journey of thirty to fifty years of 

 useful service. 



Do you want to own hives which will give you thirty years" service? 



See that you get **f^alcon*' hives. A catalog, and prices on your 

 1912 requirements, will be mailed upon request. 



Order Early. 



Don't delay this important matter of making up your order imme- 

 diately. "I don't know how my bees will come out of the winter" is an ex- 

 cuse often given. You, Mr. Late-Orderer, have known instances when you 

 have lost a good many dollars in honey and swarms, and experienced much 

 anxious chasing back and forth to the depot for the "Rush Order." Why 

 not start a bank account in the form of a few extra hives, a few extra sec- 

 tions, and a little extra foundation? It w^ill pay larger interest than any 

 savings bank in the land. Buy this extra stock this year, and always there- 

 after you will have an emergency big-honey-year extra supply to fall back on. 



Why not start out right in 1912? As an inducement for you to be thrifty 

 and beforehanded we offer at all " FALCON " dealers in January an extra three 

 per cent discount froiu catalog prices; two per cent in February, the last month 

 this inducement is ofTered. And, above all, don't forget that, when you buy, 

 you want "thirty-year" hives — you want "FALCON" hives, "FALCON" 

 foundation made in our plant by our special process for nearly forty years, and 

 other "FALCON " quality supplies.
