Lumber that Lasts? 



Here's a Convincing Case of an 

 Experienced Beekeeper who — 



(But let the gentleman tell It himself:) 



BUCK GROVE, IOWA, February 2, 1916. 

 "J have been a Cypress man for lo, these ynany moons. Almost all my dovetail 

 hives are of Cypress, as are bottom-boards, and I think, shallow telescope covers. ^Ay 

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

 as when I got the first one some years ago. Cypress is a trifle heavier 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 is 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.

*♦* 



Each comb is in itself a valuable asset to any apiary. It is the only comb which 

 enables BEEKEEPERS TO OBTAIN ALL THE HONEY without waiting for 

 the bees to draw out foundation. THEREBY SAVING TIME AND MONEY. 



We can prove that no practical BEEKEEPER can afford to be without the 



ALUMINUM HONEYCOMB 



In a recent issue of a National Bee Publication the following question and its answer appeared: 



Q. What is the total cost of a fully drawn out wax comb? 

 A. The mininum cost of drawing out a wax comb is 50 cents. 



PRACTICAL BEEKEEPERS are buying ALUMINUM HONEYCOMBS because they 



Cannot be destroyed by moths or rodents Prevent loss by melting 



Make extracting of honey easy Increase production 



Control production of drones Last forever with reasonable care 



Can be sterilized Cost no more than wax combs
