OCTOBER 15, 1912 



A Business 

 Proposition. 



Your money in the savings bank is drawing 3 

 per cent, or at most 4 per cent interest. Here is 

 an opportunity to invest it at 12 per cent — 8 per 

 cent more than it is now earning. 



In most localities this has been a good season 

 .for honey and for making increase. Prospects were 

 never better than for the coming season, and you 

 are almost certain to be needing supplies in the 

 spring. If you wait until the first of April or 

 later, you must pay full catalog prices. If your 

 order and remittance are sent in during October, 

 a discount of 6 per cent will be allowed. Six per 

 cent on money invested for six months is equivalent 

 to 12 per cent per annum, figured for six months' 

 time. It looks good, doesn't it ? Why not effect 

 this saving by ordering now, and thus also secure 

 the peace of mind that will result from having 

 your supplies all ready when you need them most? 

 Your order can be sent in now, and the goods 

 will be shipped at any time to suit your conven- 

 ience. 



Best goods, best service, best treatment, are in- 

 sured by sending your orders to OHIO'S BEE- 

 SUPPLY CENTER — special headquarters for bee- 

 keepers in Ohio, West Virginia, and Western 

 Pennsylvania. If you haven't a catalog, ask for it.
