THE VOICE 



We wish thus early, to inform our friends 

 and patrons that we are in the field and 



READY FOR BUSINESS ! 



For the Season of 1879 we shall be the 

 HEADQUARTERS for Langstroth and 

 Modest Hives, Prize Boxes, Separators, and 

 all the necessaries in the bee-keeping line. 

 As we are just a LITTLE AHEAD of ALL 

 COMPETITORS in producing a fine article 

 of COMB FOUNDATION, we shall lead 

 the trade ! 



Make a note of these points, and write for 

 our NEW PRICE LIST.
