The Best Time to Buy 

 SUPPLIES 



The season just past has demonstrated more clearly than ever the necessity for being 

 prepared for a honey-flow BEFORE it comes. If you wait until the season is upon you, 

 the chances are that the greater part of the crop will be lost while you are impatiently 

 wa'iting for supplies to arrive. It may seem a little early now to think of next season's 

 honey harvest; but the fact of the matter is, this is just the time to order goods for 

 next season. 



We are beginning now to replenish our stocks. We shall have carload orders com'ing 

 from the factory very often for the next few weeks. Special orders placed now can have 

 just the attention they need, both here and at the factory, and you may have your goods 

 sent in one of our cars, thereby saving on transportation charges. Regular stock will 

 come straight to you from our warehouse in new unbroken packages, and you can put 

 the goods together in your odd minutes, thereby saving the expense of extra help in the 

 spring. 



Our usual discounts for early orders apply again this season — six per cent for cash orders 

 sent in October, the discount diminishing one per cent per month as the season advances. 

 These discounts mean a considerable saving, and you might as well take advantage of 

 the highest by ordering now. No change of prices has as yet been announced, and you 

 may, therefore, order from your present catalog. If your catalog has been mislaid, write 

 us at once and we will send another. 



If your season's crop of honey is not yet disposed of. we can give you a good price and 

 handle it promptly. Send samples of extracted and full information as to containers, 

 flavor, quantity, price, etc. We also handle comb honey.

Would You Like to Hear 



From a Man Who Handles 



40 Apiaries I? 



Do You Want to Know How He Does It? 



There is one man in this country who 

 handles 40 apiaries. He does it by hired 

 help. He has a system that allows him 

 to care for these bees by correspondence. 

 That man is J. J. Wilder. 



I have been trying to get him to tell 

 the Review readers how he does it. He 

 writes that it would take quite a lot of 

 space in the Review, and he is afraid it 

 would soimd too much like "blowing his 

 own horn." I tell him I am certain the 

 bee-keepers would not look at it that 

 way at all and that they would be 

 pleased to hear from a man who is so 

 far ahead of the rest of us in the prac- 

 tice of extensive bee-keeping. The Ri:- 

 vtew readers believe in the slogan 

 "Keep More Bees," and of course want 

 to know how it can best be done. 



We occasionally see a question in the 

 bee-journals from some 3'oung man ask- 

 ing if bee-keeping can be depended upon 

 as a business. The answers generallv 



are that it can not ; that it is too uncer- 

 tain, and that more money can be made 

 with the same ability at something else. 

 Personally I don't like that kind of a 

 reply. I believe if a person has the 

 nerve to try to accomplish big things 

 he will generally succeed. I believe the 

 present condition of bee-culture is 

 largely due to that kind of advice, and 

 the desire to hook something up with 

 it. Now here is a man who is proving 

 that the above belief is true, and we 

 would all like to hear from him. 



Let me tell you what to do. Mr. 

 Wilder has just written me that he had 

 decided to spend another winter in 

 Bradentown, Florida. If you want to 

 know through the columns of the Re- 

 \iew how he handles 40 apiaries just sit 

 right down TODAY and send a postal 

 card to J. J. Wilder. Bradentown, Flor- 

 ida, saying, "I should certainly like to 

 hear in the Review how you handle 40 

 apiaries." Sign your name and address. 

 Don't expect a reply. Don't ask a ques- 

 tion, unless it is one he can answer in 

 his article. We mustn't expect him to 

 answer letters. We only want to let 

 him know that you, the readers, want 

 his article. Do you? Then send thai 

 card tonight. — E. B. Tyrrell.
