SEPTEflBER SPECIAL 



Cash Discount tor Early Orders 



We can not remember a year when we were not crowded with 

 orders through the spring months, and somewhat behind, some years 

 more than others. In order to divert some of this trade to the fall and 

 winter months, we have offered Inducements in the way of an early- 

 order cash discount. This year we will be more libera) than ever be- 

 fore in the amount of discount allowed. For some months the price 

 of some of the materials used has been a little lower, and we have 

 stocked up heavily, and propose giving you the advantage of the 

 saving in price. The abundant farm crops throughout the country 

 are stimulating trade in almost all lines, and prices are already stiffen- 

 ing. The discounts which we propose to offer for early cash orders 

 are as follows : 



For cash orders before Oct. 1 10 percent. 



Nov. 1 9 " 



Dec. 1 8 



" " .Ian. 1 I '• 



" " Feb. 1 6 



" " March 1 4 " 



" " April 1 3 



You will notice that, after .January, the discount drops 2 percent 

 a month ; and if we find that advancing prices of materials do not 

 warrant the larger discount, we reserve the right to reduce the amount 

 of discount at any time. Your safest plan is, therefore, to order at once. 



This discount is only for cash before the dates named, and is in- 

 tended to apply to hives, sections, frames, foundation, extractors, 

 smokers, shipping-cases, cartons, and other miscellaneous bee-keepers' 

 supplies. It will not apply on orders for the following articles exclu- 

 sively ; but where these form no more than about 10 percent of the 

 whole orders, the discount may be taken from the entire bill : Tinned 

 wire, paint, Bingham smokers. Porter bee-escape, glass and tin honey- 

 packages, scales, bees and queens, bee books and papers, labels and 

 other printed matter; bushel boxes, seeds, and other specialties not 

 listed in our general catalog. 



Beeswax and Comb Foundation 



To compensate for the large early order cash discount we propose 

 to increase the trade price of wax ; and until further notice we will 

 pay 26 cts. cash, or 30 cts. in trade, for average wax delivered here or 

 at our branches. When you take trade at 30 cts. a pound you]will not 

 be entitled to the early-order discount on the supplies. 



The price of comb foundation was reduced Aug. 1 two cents a 

 pound, and the revised price stands as follows:

The early-order cash discount applies to the reduced price of 

 foundation, making a total net reduction of 7 to 8 cts. a pound for 

 September orders. We recommend that shipment of foundation be 

 avoided in extreme cold weather, and to that end it would be well to 

 get in your supply in the fall. Use your leisure time in winter to nail 

 and paint your hives, put up sections, and prepare other articles ready 

 for the spring rush. 



Extra-Long Bee-Gloves 



Having made arrangements for our supply of gloves from a factory 

 making a specialty of their manufacture, we save enough in the cost 

 to enable us 10 oiler them either with or without fingers at 35 cts. a 

 pair; by mail, 42 cts. 



No-Drlp Shipping-Cases 



Don't allow your Comb Honey to be sold at low prices on account 

 of poor Shipping-Cases. Put your crop into Hoot's No-Drip Cases 

 and it will reach the market in perfect condition, thus bringing satis- 

 factory returns. Our Cases are made of selected basswood, with 2 or 

 8 inch glass front, which shows off the honey to the very best advan- 

 tage. Below is a condensed price-list. Complete prices and particu- 

 lars are found in our general catalog. 



The Simplex Jar 



The handsomest glass package on the market. 

 It's a package you need not be ashamed of, and 

 will find its way beside the finest of the grocery 

 shelves. Create a demand for your honey. 



This is a new jar with glass screw-top and rub- 

 ber gasket fitted to the taper screw on jar, which 

 seals absolutely air-tight. Put up in re-shipping 

 cases "f 3 dozen jars each, with corrugated pro- 

 tec toi E. 



Price $1.10 per case; 6 cases (« $1.05; 30 oases 

 or more (liSl.OO. 



5-Gallon Square Cans 



The above cut shows the favorite package for shipping extracted 

 honey. There is no shrinkage and consequent leaking; no taint 10 

 the honey from wood, as is so frequently the case with barrels and 

 kegs. The cans, being made square, economize space, and are easily 

 boxed. They are used exclusively in the far West. Take 4th class 

 freight-rate.
