"Experience Teaches a Hard School' 



IT is a bad plan to give your order for 

 Sections and Shipping-Cases, or in fact 

 anything in the bee-supply line, to the man 

 who quotes you the lowest price. There's 

 as much difference in bee-goods as there is 

 in people. Last spring a bee-keeper in 

 Michigan wrote to firms throughout the 

 country for prices on a large bill of goods. 

 Some of the quotations he received were 

 delightfully low and inviting, much lower 

 than " Lewis " offered them at. The man 

 took all his catalogs and correspondence to 

 an old bee-keeper of long experience and 

 asked his advice. Result: We Got the 

 Order. 



LEWIS' GOODS are worth every cent 

 they cost, and whether you receive them in 

 the dead of winter or at the height of the 

 honey-flow, or when your bees are swarm- 

 ing, they will fit accurately, admit of being 

 put together quickly, and will be found to 

 be made of the finest material. This saves 

 you time ; this saves you trouble ; this 

 saves you honey, and time, trouble and 

 honey mean money to you. Your honey put 

 up in good shape will bring higher prices, 

 and the demand for it will be increased 

 from year to year. This factory's reliable 

 goods have started many a man on the road 

 to success.
