March Winds 



Will soon give place to the proverbial April 

 showers. In other words, spring is at hand. 



Are you ready for it, Mr. Beeman? As in 

 most localities the last two seasons were not 

 the most favorable, you probably did not 

 stock up heavily on supplies, and therefore 

 find yourself short of hives, frames, sections, 

 foundation, or other beekeeping accessories. 

 Do not make the mistake of waiting till the 

 last minute before sizing up your needs; for 

 when once the bees get down to business, 

 time is valuable and delays are costly. The 

 March discount of 1 per cent is also worth 

 considering, and on a large order is quite an 

 item of saving. 



Of course you will want the best goods 

 the time-tested ROOT line; and, which is 

 scarcely less important, prompt attention, 

 careful packing, and quick delivery — in 

 short, PEIRCE SERVICE. 



If you are numbered with our hundreds 

 of pleased customers, we await your annual 

 call. If not, let us demonstrate our ability 

 to please YOU. A large illustrated catalog
