A large and complete stock of the Root Goods offered at the factory schedule 

 of prices. My system of rotating does not permit any accumulation of old 

 stock. My comb foundation is always fresh from the mills; my sections fresh 

 and bright, and hives have all latest improvements. 1 accept beeswax in 

 payment for goods, or I will pay highest market price for wax in cash. 1 am 

 in need of more wax at all times. 



My Perfection Tiglit-seal Jars are acknowledged as being the best for 

 extracted honey, and I assume all responsibility in shipping, guaranteeing 

 safe arrival. I mean exactly what I say. 



My new Paper Honey-jars are cheap enough for retailers to give away 

 with their honey. No more waiting to exchange jars or crocks when you 

 deliver your honey. My catalog tells all about these things, and is sent free.
