NATIONAL BEEKEEPERS' ASSOCIATION CONVENTION, 

 ST. LOUIS, MO., FEBRUARY 17, 18, 19, 1914. 



The annual convention of the National Beekeepers' 

 Association will convene at the Planters Hotel, St. 

 Louis, Feb. 17, 18, 19, 1914. The first session will 

 be held Feb. 17 at 10 A. m. A large hall and office 

 rooms have been provided at the hotel. 



The following rates on the European plan have 

 been granted to the beekeepers and their friends : 



FOR ONE PERSON. 



Rooms without bath, $1.50 to $2.00 per day; 

 rooms with bath, $2.50 to $5.00 per day. 



FOR TWO PERSONS. 



Rooms without bath, $2.50 to $3.00 per day; 

 rooms with bath, $3.50 to $7.00 per day. For each 

 person over two in a room, $1.00 additional. 



The Planters Hotel is one of the finest in the city, 

 and guests will be nicely taken care of. 



It is hoped that this convention may prove one of 

 our old-style gatherings, where we meet many of our 

 old friends and make many new ones. All meetings 

 will be open to all the beekeepers who will come, 

 whether members of the Association or not. 



What is needed is a large attendance. Let the 

 beekeepers rally and make this a rousing gathering, 

 such as we had in 1909, during the World's Fair. 

 Bring your wife and daughters. St. Louis will try 

 to make it pleasant for all. 



There will be rooms in the hall for exhibits if any 

 manufacturers or beekeepers wish to show, or ad- 

 joining rooms can be had if desired.

 President St. Louis Beekeepers' Club.
