READY FOR BUSINESS ! 



We are glad to inform our friends that our new 

 shop is now arranged and we are ready for business. 

 Our facilities are unsurpassed for doing good work 

 cheaply and quickly. 



OUR NEW MONTHLY, 



The Bee-Keepers' Exchange, 



is already popular, and its success is established. Its 

 low price — 75c. per year— brings it within the reach of 

 all, and we propose to make it so useful and enter- 

 taining that no bee-keeper can afford to be without 

 it. Sample copy free. 



COMB FOUNDATION, 



DRONE OR WORKER CELLS. 

 We wish our friends to realize that we are absolute- 

 ly headquarters for Comb Foundation. We pro- 

 duce the most and best Comb Foundation of any one 

 in the United States. We have testimonials from 

 many who have tried different manufacturers, and 

 our Foundation is pronounced the best. We now 

 have over 9,000 lbs. of wax on hand that we paid a 

 round price for, as we buy the best that can be ob- 

 tained, and have it selected especially for us. 

 PRICES FOR 187*1. 

 If we supply Foundation in odd quantities, or if cut 

 to any size wanted, prices will be 



1 to 25 pounds, per pound 55c 



25 to 50 " " 53c. 



50 to 100 " " 52c. 



100 to 50P " •' 50c. 



500 to 1000 " " 48c. 



1000 pounds or more 45c. 



If we get orders for foundation in 5, 10, 15,25, 50 or 

 1001b. boxes, of 8x16^ or 12x21 size, we will allow 10 

 per cent, discount from above prices. The above 

 quotations are for the old style or lozenge-shaped 



FLAT-BOTTOMED FOUNDATION, 

 is a grand success. The thin, without wire, is war- 

 ranted to average ten square feet to the pound, 

 and will not leave a " fish-bone" in box honey. It is 

 too thin for the brood-nest. The flat-bottomed 

 foundation, with wire incorporated, will average six 

 square feet to the pound, and absolutely prevents all 

 sagging, and can be given to large swarms, or can be 

 handled very roughly after it is built out. Flat bot- 

 toms are not an experiment, but have been thorough- 

 ly tested. The bees accept this foundation just as 

 fast as they do the old style. 



We hereby inform the public, that the wired foun- 

 dation is subject to two patents, and the thin flat- 

 bottomed is subject to one patent. We have full 

 Erivilege to make and sell this foundation, and shall 

 andle it in large quantities. 



We propose to keep the wired foundation in stock 

 in following sizes: Sheets are 10x10, lOxlS 1 ., S'oxlli 1 .., 

 10V,xU, 1134x12, and 12xi9. 



The new thin, for boxes, will be kept in sheets 12x12. 

 Both kinds will be sold at following prices : 



I to 25 pounds, per pound 70c. 



25 to 50 " " 68c. 



50 to 100 " " 67c. 



100 to 500 " " 05c. 



500 to 1000 " " 63c. 



1000 pounds or more, " 00c. 



HONEY BOXES. 



Probably no one in the United States has better fa- 

 cilities than we, for making boxes rapidly and neatly. 

 We can turn out 100.000 boxes a month without diffi- 

 culty. Our specialty is the Prize and Novice, or 4 1 4x 

 4 l 4 dovetailed box. These we will keep in stock. We 

 plane all our boxes on the edges and on one side, and 

 guarantee the work to be first class in every particu- 

 lar. Our aim is to ' excel," not under-sell. Send 

 for our samples before you purchase.

Per 1.000 boxes $6 ,50
