1896. 



THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER. 



95 



We notice that the dull times have 

 had the usual effect of reducing the 

 prices of bee-keeping supplies, and 

 some dealers are offering their goods 

 at prices which are actually below the 

 cost of making. We do not believe 

 in doing business "for fun." It 

 works well for a while but cannot 

 last. However we propose to protect 

 our customers against any prices 

 made b}' competitors, and will dupli- 

 cate all prices made hy any other 

 dealers anywhere for goods of equal 

 quality and merit. 



We want a large quantit}' of bees- 

 wax, and will pa}' 28c a pound cash or 

 30c a pound in goods for good clean 

 wax freight paid to Falconer, N. Y. 



We will send the Farm Journal, 

 (Phila.) and the Bee-Keeper one year 

 for 50c, or will send the Farm Journal 

 one year to everyone who owe a year 

 or more subscription and will pay up. 

 (Mention this offer). 



We have a quantit}" of Alley Drone 

 and Queen Trap patterns of 1894 

 which will be sold at 25c each, regu- 

 lar price 50c. These Traps are just 

 as good for practical purposes as 

 those of more recent pattern. 



We are always glad to receive arti- 

 cles for publication. They come 

 handy sooner or later. If you have 

 any news of any kind concerning bees, 

 write us about it and we will publish 

 it for the benefit of our readers. 



We are paying 28c a pound cash 

 for good beeswax, delivered at our 

 railroad station at Falconer, N. Y. , or 

 we will allow 30c a pound in goods. 



Kditor York , of the American Bee 

 Journal, takes exceptions to our recent 

 remarks concerning the self praise, 

 flattery and "softness" which is so 

 prevalent among certain bee editors, 

 and in his weak way attempts to retali- 

 ate. Evidently the shoe fitted ; the 

 shot went home. Well, editor York, 

 you are one of those at whom we aim- 

 ed. We hope 3'ou only received a flesh 

 wound and will profit by it, for such 

 silly stuff is heartily condemned by 

 every intelligent one of your readers. 



Grand Offer to Subscribers. 



We will send the Bee Keeper six 

 months, and a box of Seeds contain- 

 ing 12 different packages of Garden 

 Seeds and 3 papers of Flower Seeds 

 (value $1.40) for only 60c post-paid, 

 or the Bee Keeper 1 year and all the 

 Seeds for 75c. Or we will send the Bee

A gieat many subscriptions have 

 expii'ed the last two months, and we

 each. We will send the Bee Keeper 

 the l)alance of this year to new sub-
