THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER. 



Mar. 



Since issuing our spring catalogue 

 some dealers have reduced the price 

 of extra thin section foundation 5c a 

 pound, we have done the same. Our 

 customers will please remember that 

 we will at all times sell our goods as 

 low as any of our competitors, and 

 while there is positively hardly any 

 profit on some kinds of goods we 

 sell, we will actually sell them at 

 less than cost before we will lie un- 

 dersold. 



Premium* for new subscribers. Every 

 new subscriber sending 50 cents for 

 the Bee-Keeper one year and ten 

 cents extra will receive as premium 

 a package of choice flower seeds valued 

 at 90 cents — or for 25 cents extra a 

 collection of flower and vegetable 

 seeds and bulbs, worth at retail over 

 $1.50. This is the best offer ever 

 made by anyone. 



Some manufacturers and dealers 

 are ottering sections at prices in 

 some cases a little less than our cele- 

 brated Falcon sections. Consumers 

 should not be deceived by such of- 

 fers. Our Falcon sections are not to 

 be compared with that class of goods. 

 We can supply No 1 sections ecpial 

 to such at $2.00 per M. 



Win, M. Gerrish, East Nottingham, 

 N. H., will keep in stock a supply of 

 our goods this season. Our customers 

 in his part of the country will find it 

 convenient to get their supplies of him. 



We regret to note that H. P. 

 Langdon has had misfortune visited 

 upon him by the loss by death of 

 his wife, which occurred Feb. 19. 



The Hoots say : « 'This years' bus- 

 iness is starting out unusually brisk, 

 in fact we have been obliged to add 

 more help, new machines, new blower, 

 more line shafting, etc."' We have 

 ourselves noticed the unusual volumn 

 of trade for "an off year," but with 

 our almost unlimited capacity we 

 have no doubt that we can till all 

 orders with our usual promptness. 



We have received from the pub- 

 lisher, Geo. T. Angell, No. 19 Milk 

 street, Boston, Mass., a copy of 

 "The Strike at Shanes." a sequal to 

 "Black Beauty." 



If any of our readers wish to sub- 

 scribe to any of the standard maga- 

 zines they should read the terms else- 

 where. 



Ground Cork is an excellent article 

 for packing hives, being light and dry. 

 We will furnish it 8c. per lb., or $4.00 

 per 100 pounds. A bushel weighs 

 only about 8 lbs. 



We are somewdiat late in getting 

 out this number of the Bee-Keeper, 

 partly owing to the unusual amount 

 of extra work in our office. Notwith- 

 standing the generally dull times, we 

 are fairly busy, employing at this 

 writing about 100 pairs of hands and 

 running our factory 13 hours daily. 



Last month we expressed an opinion 

 that " Success in Bee Culture" had 

 followed in the foot steps of many 

 bee papers, and had "petered out." 

 We were a little too hasty, the Decem- 

 ber number has arrived at this office. 



Did you notice the new cover on 

 our catalogue? 



We have just issued a new discount 

 sheet for the use of regular dealers 

 which applies to our new catalogue. 

 It will be mailed to regular dealersonly 



on application.
