READ THE CATALOG! 



Has it ever occurred to you how valuable a 

 source of information, alike for the prospective 

 beekeeper, the beginner, and the veteran, a mod- 

 ern bee-supply catalog is? A careful perusal of one 

 of these catalogs is an education in itself. 



The 1912 PEIRCE catalog is one of the most 

 complete ever issued. While every thing is listed 

 that the experienced beekeeper would require, 

 special information is given for the beginner as to 

 outfits required, and numerous questions are an- 

 swered for his benefit. Illustrations of the various 

 fixtures and appliances employed in bee culture 

 add greatly to the interest and value of the publi- 

 cation. 



If you have ever thought that you would like 

 to keep bees, you should certainly secure the 

 PEIRCE ILLUSTRATED BEE CATALOG and 

 other literature that will be sent you on request. 

 Our correspondence bureau is also at your service, 

 and all questions will be answered promptly and 

 fully. 



The professional apiarist, too, will find a care- 

 ful examination of this catalog profitable, since it 

 covers the whole field of his requirements, the 

 latest improvements and Inventions included. 

 Hundreds of Central States beekeepers, and others 

 more distantly located, are experiencing perfect 

 satisfaction in "PEIRCE SERVICE— ROOT QUAL- 

 ITY," as defined in this catalog. It costs you a 

 postal card request— that's all. 



A word to those who have the catalog: Let us 

 ship that rush order now.
