;|; _^SK^^^ Cypress as a Beekeeper's Lumber 



X ^g^'Vt^itffpriS) There are many qualities that make the value in lumber, depend- 



♦'• ^^^SstP^^C/SS! '"Si o^ course, on the uses to which they are put. But of all vir- 



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



•j» ^*Uiaff fluences longest, especially when the wood is used in a service by 



X 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. 



X No use tries the lasting qualities of lumber greater than that of Bee Hive construction. It is the very deuce 



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



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



I STUDY THE WOOD QUESTION 



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



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



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



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



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