THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER. 



i:!l9 



, Some of the dishonest commission 

 merchdnts of Chicago are getting a 

 thorough shaking up, and in some 

 cases their just deserts. We have not 

 heard of anyone l)eing swindled by 

 any New Y'ork commission men late- 

 ly, although we know of one largely 

 advertised firm that silently disap- 

 peared a short time ago owing us a 

 nice little account. 



"How to Manage Bees is a 50c 

 book for beginners in bee keeping;.. 

 We will send it postpaid for 25c. 



" How TO Manage Bees," a 50c 

 book, and the American Bee-Keep- 

 ER a year for only 60c. 



Election is over and we can all set- 

 tle down and calculate on our next 

 seasons' work. Some of us , no doubt, 

 have paid little attention to anything 

 during the past few weeks excepting 

 politics. The party of National honor 

 has won, and the silver idea is burried 

 underneath such an overwhelming 

 majority that it is doubtful if it will 

 ever be brought up again as a Nation- 

 al issue. 



Already there is evidence of in- 

 creased activity in the manufacturing 

 and commercial world, and there is 

 little doubt that the prosperity of the 

 country will steadily increase for some 

 years to come. In time this prosperi- 

 ty will reach the farmers and bee 

 keepers, and the signs of the times 

 point to next year as a prosperous 

 year for all of us who are determined 

 to make the most of our opportunities. 



Wm Gerrish, East Nottingham, N 

 H., keeps a complete supply of our 

 goods and Eastern customers will 

 save freight by ordering from him. 



Reduction of Prices. 



Foundation has been reduced 3c a 

 pound from prices in our 1896 cata- 

 log. This is owing to the lower price 

 of wax. 



Our No. 1 Falcon Polished Sec- 

 tions we now offer at $2.50 for 1000, 

 $4.50 for 2000, $6.40 for liOOO, $10 

 for 5000. Less than 1000 same pric- 

 es as formerly. 



Beeswax. We are now paying 

 25 cents cash or 27 cents in trade, per 

 pound, delivered at our railroad sta- 

 tion, (Falconer, N. Y). This price is 

 not guaranteed. We will pay highest 

 market price when wax is received. 

 Prices are liable to be reduced again 

 within a short time. If you have any 

 wax to sell it is advisable to send it 

 now.
