Lumber that Lasts? 



Here's a Convincing Case of an 

 Experienced Beekeeper wlio — 



(But let the gentleman tell It himself:) 



BUCK GROVE, IOWA, February ;, 1916. 

 "I have been a Cypress man for to, these many moons. Almost alt my dovetail 

 hires are of Cypress, as are bottom-boards, and I think, shallow telescope covers, My 

 hive stands are of Cypress, and stand in the mud and wet all the time and are as solid 

 as when 1 got the first one some years ago. Cypress is a trifle heaz^ier than white 

 (cork) pine, but not much more than the heavier grade of pine now used. The fact 

 that it is 'everlasting' compensates for all this." (Signed) A. F. BONNEY, M. D. 



For a job of repairing or for equipment, the lumber that will give you the greatest real investment value in the market 13 Cypress, com- 

 monly known as the "Wood Eternal." This wood does not rot down like most woods; it lasts and lasts and LASTS, and LASTS and 

 LASTS. It is the Gopher Wood of the Bible — Noah built his ark of Cypress. Since the days of Noah, Cypress has been famous for 

 endurance under the most trying conditions. Cypress is the one certified Greenhouse wood. That's "some" test. Bottom 



boards are another.
