GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Apr. 1.5. 



American, or W., F. & Co., will send with their ex- , 

 press orders an extra 5 cents on amounts of $ .(K) or 

 less, and 10c on orders from $1.00 to $10.00, it will 1 

 lielp materially to meet this extra expense we g-o to 

 for your benefit. As an illustration of what you I 

 gain, we will suppose a customer in Pli(enix, Aiiz , i 

 orders, by express, {roods weighing 10 lbs. If we j 

 ship by U. S., tiie only company doing business ' 

 here, and they turn it over to the W., F. & Co , the 

 only company doing business in Plicenix, the 

 charges through will be $3.40. By shipping the '< 

 10 lbs. from Akron, all the way by W., F. & Co., the 

 charges are only $1.6,5— a saving of 75c. This is an 

 extreme case; but it illustrates the advantage of 

 shipping all the way by only one express company 

 when it is possible. 



B. P. S. PURE READY-MIXED PAINTS. 



We have recently put in a full line of family, 1 

 carriage, floor, and house paints, ready mixed, in | 

 cans of various sizes, and all colors. There has been 

 so much cheap adulterated trash put upon tlie 

 market, which has given no end of trouble and dis- 

 satisfaction, that we would not put in the stock 

 without the best assurance from the manufacturers 

 that we were to iiave pure goods. They guarantee 

 to take every pound off our hands, and pay for 

 analysis, if found adulterated. Wishing to confirm 

 or disprove tlieir representation, and satisfy our- 

 selves, we went to the expense of an analysis by the 

 State Chemist. His report confirms the claims of 

 the makers of the paint, that the goods are strictly 

 pure white lead, zinc, and linseed oil, with pure 

 colors for tlie proper tint, and a slight trace of 

 dryer. For bee-hives we use and recommend white. 

 If for this or any other use you require colors, we 

 can send you on request the color-card, with prices. 

 The paint is made by the Burtiss, Paterson & Sar- 

 geant Co., of Cleveland, O. Prices for bee-hive 

 paint, as quoted in catalog, are, 1 pint, 25c; quart, 

 45c; half-gal., H5c; gal., $1.60. Colors for house-paint- , 

 ing furnished at the same price. In writing for 

 prices and color-cards, state for what you want to 

 use the paint.
