THREE WAYS IN WHICH 

 BEEKEEPERS CAN SAVE 



So long as lumber, together with all kinds of iron products and labor 

 costs, remain at present abnormal prices, the prices of beekeepers' sup- 

 plies will have to remain abnormally high, too. We dislike this situa- 

 tion as much as the beekeeper. It is no good to us, and we know it, and 

 we trust the situation will correct itself as the war times recede. 



In the meantime can the beekeeper do anything to economize and 

 at the same time keep his business going full steam ahead? He can. 

 There are three ^vays open to him right now: 



MONEY-SAVING PRE-WAR PRICES.— There are pre-war prices still 

 e-xisting on some considerable lists of goods kept at our Branch Offices 

 at Philadelphia, Norfolk, Indianapolis and Chicago, and at the Home Of- 

 fice at Medina. These lists of very low-priced supplies include shipping 

 cases, bottom-boards, covers, frames, sections, smokers, queen-rearing 

 lools, fences and separators, etc. These are new goods, but in most cases 

 Ihey are in sizes or styles that we no longer list, and so prefer to close 

 them out at a big sacrifice. Those who can manage to use these goods will 

 make a big saving by ordering while they last. The prices are only one- 

 third to two-thirds the prices now made on standard goods. They are of- 

 fered subject to previous sale. Don't delay. Write for lists to Medina 

 Home Office. 



SAVE FREIGHT CHARGES.— We have car-lot agents at many points 

 over the United States, as well as Branch Offices at 23 Leonard St., New 

 York; 10 Vine St., Philadelphia; 224 West Huron St., Chicago; 290 East 6th 

 St., St. Paul; 10 Commerce St., Norfolk, Va.; 874 Massachusetts Ave., Indi- 

 jnapolis; 224 Poydras St., New Orleans. By ordering from our nearest 

 rgent or Branch Office you will save freight charges — and these freight 

 charges have advanced about 70 per cent as the result of the war. 



EARLY ORDER DISCOUNTS.— I'.y taking advantage of our early 

 order cash discounts you can save 7 per cent in October, 6 per cent in No- 

 vember and 5 per cent in December. Send for our year-end special price 

 sheet, too, when taking advantage of these early order discounts.
