 Gentlemen: 



I received five of your AE52S-10 hives yesterday and 

 find that I cannot make my own hives and supplies as cheap 

 as yours and use the same quality of lumber. You can see 

 by the head of this letter that if anyone can make hives 

 cheaper than your prices or any of the so-called "trust 

 hive" manufacturers, I ought to be able to do it, but using 

 the same quality of lumber I cannot. 



Yours very truly, 



(Signed) John H. Bamberger. 



The above is a representative letter from the many we have to the effect that our hives and other supplies can be 

 purchased cheaper than a local mill can possibly make them. Our enormous output enables us to reduce the cost to 

 the minimum without sacrificing quality.
