Galvanlzed-Wire Poultry-Netting and Fencing. 

 The Best IVIade at tlie Lowest Price. 



We handle only the G. & U. brand, which we consider tlie best made, as it Is made of wire full}- up to 

 jraujfe, and lias tlirei^st rand twisted-wire selvage, while other makes have only two. We have secured a 

 carload frmn the faetm y. :ii a siieciai low price, wluch we are able to sell lower than you can buy it any- 

 where else of ecjual quality, a'nd lower 

 than we have ever sold it before, though 

 we have been getting more for it the past 

 two years than we did in 1890. This car- 

 load that we have purchased is all 2-inch 

 No. 19 netting, the sizegenoally used for 

 poultry. It was made iieaily a year ago, 

 and has lost some of the bright luster of 

 fresh new goods; and it was for this reason 

 alone that we bought itlowe7-and ai'e able 

 to sell it cheaper. It is guaianteed equal 

 in every respect to fresh new goods of the 

 best quality, except in lustei', which prac- 

 tically is of no account, because tlie 

 biightest netting becomes dull in a few 

 weeks after being put up. We have in 

 stock all widths from 13 iticiies up to 60, 

 which we can furnish at the following 

 prices. * All shipments must be made from 

 here. We can not ship fiom New York or 

 Cliicago at these i)rices; but as we are able 

 to secure through rates to almost all 

 points from here, the freight will be little 

 ^-inch staples for below, 30c per lb.; .5 lbs. or over. 16c per lb.

The lot includes over 60O rolls, most of wliieb are 48 inches wide, the usual size used. This price will 

 last only as long as the .stock lasts. You will do well, therefore to order early. The above pric'es ai-e less 

 than the wholesale quotations to-day on netting not one whit better, if as good. If you want other sizes, 

 or shl])ment from New York or Chicago, write for our special 30-i)age netting catalogue, mailed on appli-

Reduction in Price of Chaff Hives. 



The hive shown in adjoining cut has been a mcjst successful one with a great many 

 bee-keepers through Ohio, Indiana Illinois, Iowa, New York, Pennsylvania, and even as 

 far iioi-th as Michigan, Wiscon.sin, and Minnesota. We have wintered l)ees success- 

 full.\- ill them for the past 13 winters, and still use them l)ecause they arc still good. 

 Wliile we would rather handle liees in the new Dovetailed chaff hives, and think they 

 will winter as safeh in I hem, .\ el the old chaff liives are too good to discard, and there 

 are many bee-keepers who stiil prefer them to any hive made. As we lia\e an overstock 

 of them, we propose, in ordci' to reduce this stock, to make a I'eduction of 3(1 ets. on a hive 

 for a limit€!d time only. A bo.v of 5 hives in the flat, without furniture, is listed at $7.00; 

 with above reduction, the price will be $6.00. The s.ime ipiantil v disrounts will apiily as 

 well as the early-order discount of 5 per cent. From the prices of complete hives, page 34 of our catalogue, 

 deduct 30 cts. on each hive. As soon as (mr stock Is reduced enough to warrant, this reduction will be 

 withdrawn, so we advise you to take early advantage of it if in want of anv of tlie.se hives.
