SPECIAL NOTICES 



Bv Our Business Manager 



WHEELBARROW WHEELS. 



We have on hand quite a number of extra steel 

 ■wheelbarrow wheels which ordinarily sell for $1.75. 

 To reduce stock we offer these, while they last, 

 at $1.25 each; 3 for $3.00. They are 28 inches 

 in diameter; tire IVz inches wide; eight %-inch 

 steel spokes in a cast hub 4 inches long. Axle 

 is % inch in diameter for 13% inches, with bear- 

 ing at each end 2y8 inches long by scant %-inch 

 diameter. 



OBSERVATION HIVES, OLD STYLE. 



We have found at another of our agencies some 

 more of the old-style observation hives as shown in 

 illustration. We will furnish them, while they last, 

 at 35 cents each in flat, without glass. Each hive 

 requires two pieces of glass 9x19 to tit it up when 

 nailed. Unless ordered witli other goods we will 

 ship direct from Osceola Mills, Pa., which is near 

 the center of the State. 



SHIPPING-CASES, SECOND-HAND, NAILED UP. 



We have an accumulation of second-hand ship- 

 ping-cases from which comb honey has been sold 

 or repacked. Some of them are of our own make, 

 and practically as good as new, while more of 

 them are western-made pine cases, somewhat 

 rougher than our make, and not so desirable. We 

 have tried to price them according to their value. 

 The list available is as follows, and offered while 

 they last : 



126 cases, 10 %-inch, 4-row, for 24 sections, 

 414x7 to foot or 1% ; $1.20 for 10; $5.50 for 50; 

 $10.00 for 100; $12.00 for the lot. 



406 cases, 11 %-inch, 4-row, for 24 sections, 

 4%xl%; $1.20 for 10; $5.50 for 50; $10.00 for 

 100. About two-thirds of these have a wooden 

 slide in place of glass, and will be sold at 2 cts. 

 each less without the glass. 



96 cases, 12-inch, 4-row, for 24 sections, 4i/4xl% 

 to 2-inch; $1.20 for 10; $5.50 for 50; $9.50 for 

 lot. 



189 cases for 24 sections, 4x5x1%; $1.30 for 

 10; $6.00 for 50; $11.00 for 100; $19.00 for lot.

 10; $6.00 for lot. 



26 cases for 24 sections, 4i4x4%xiy2; $1.40 

 for 10; $3.00 for lot. 



Most cases include glass. If wanted in carriers, 

 add 5 cts. per case to cover cost of carrier. 



OLD-STYLE EXTRACTORS. 



We have a few extractors which we offer at bar- 

 gain prices because they are not of our latest pat- 

 tern. They do not have ball bearings, die-molded 

 gears, nor the slip-gear device. Otherwise they are 

 new machines which sold for much higher prices 

 than we ask for them now to close out. They are 

 located at different branch offices, and are offered 

 at the prices named for shipment direct from the 

 office where they are now stored. 



At Des Moines, Iowa, 4 No. 15 Cowan, L. size 

 two-frame machines, offered at $9.00 each, and

SHIPPING CASES AT BARGAIN PRICES. 



We have dropped from our catalog certain sizes 

 of shipping-cases while we still have some of them 

 in stock. We are making changes in some other 

 styles, and desire to close out what stock we have 

 of older patterns. For these reasons we offer the 

 following cases, while stock lasts, at special prices.

I have taken Gleanings about three years, and I 

 tell you, Mr. Root, that I have enjoyed and received 

 very much benefit from reading your good straight- 

 forward talks. It has helped to lead me to higher 

 thoughts and deeds and to become a Christian last 

 winter. I am 27 years old; keep 24 colonies of bees, 

 and help my father care for a vineyard. We are lo- 

 cated on the west shore of Lake Keuka, and people 

 are engaged largely in grape culture around here.
