BECAUSE IT LASTS 



That is One Argument in Favor of 

 Cypress as a Beekeeper's Lumber 



There are many qualities that make the value in lumber, depend- 

 ing, of course, on the uses to which they are put. But of all vir- 

 tues that of endurance comes first. The wood that resists rot in- 

 fluences longest, especially when the wood is used in a service by 



which it is exposed to wet and dry conditions and earth contact — that wood is accredited with being able X 



to give the user the greatest investment value. y

No use tries the lasting qualities of lumber greater than that of Bee Hive construction. It is the very deuce 't* 



to get lumber that will not too readily rot — unless one gets Cjipress lumber. Then there is a good show for *»* 



endurance that means real money saved on Repairs You Don't Have to Make. Try it, Mr. Beekeeper. X 



STUDY THE WOOD QUESTION I 



X 



There's one way to get at this matter of endurance — through books of authority. Such are the 43 volumes X 



of the internationally famous Cypress Pocket Library. These books are not "advertising" — they are authori- X 



tative references on file in the libraries of scores of technical schools and National institutes. Ask for Vol. •*• 



1 to start with; it contains the complete U. S. Govt. Rept. on Cypress, "The Wood Eternal," and a full list ♦!♦ 



of the other volumes; then branch out until you cover the subject. ♦
