CYPRESS by TEST 

 Substitutes by TALK 



The PR0OF?=Two Letters FROM BEEMEN: 



"Our correspondent makes serious complaints against 



and MAKES A PLEA FOR CYPRESS as 



a BEEHIVE MATERIAL. We hope you will look into this matter," (Etc.)— and here's another: 



-, of 



-, just came into the office. He informs us that they tried a car of CYPRESS 



"Mr. 



LUMBER last year for the first time, and are so well pleased with it that they are ORDERING ANOTHER 

 CAR for use in making HIVE BOTTOMS." 



Is there value to you in a.i endurance test of 51 years in greenhouse sash? It is reported to us that sach 

 made of heart Cypress by a prominent greenhouse contractor in Chicago, and placed in position in a green- 

 house at Des Plaines, 111., in 1868, are Still Doing Service. 



It will serve you as well and save you the nuisance and expense of repairs and replacements. 

 The argument backed by such facts cannot be answered by mere talk. Ask the manufacturer or contrac- 

 tor who wants to give you a "substitute" for Cypress to cite you an endurance test of 30 to 45 years to 

 the credit of the so-called "substitute." 



That is no more than a fair precaution on your part — good, ordinary business sense.

We receive hundreds of letters about this valuable beekeeping appliance, of which this is a 

 fair sample : 



Te-xas Honey Producers' Association, Hiram, Ohio, January 3, 1921. 



1105 S. Flores Street, San Antonio. Texas. 



Dear Sirs: I purchased a set of the Aluminum Honeycombs — ^of the Company in California- 

 last year, in time for a test this last season, and am so well pleased that I am anxious for more. 

 I divided the set between two strong colonies, one set in brood-chamber and balance in extract- 

 ing supers. In the brood-chamber every comb was filled with brood — both sides, as nice a set of 

 5 brood-combs as I ever saw. The 5 in extracting super were filled twice with clover and ex- 

 tracted and once on fall honey. The frames averaged 8 lbs. net. The colonies that made the 

 extracted boney gave me 440 lbs. of surplus honey, the largest yield I ever secured from a sin- 

 gle colony, and I lay it to the Aluminum Honeycombs, and I am glad to know I can get more. 

 Please send me price list and circulars. 



Respectfiilly, 



H. M. LEACH.
