Next Door to 

 Everything'' 



Reads the advertisement of a great railway terminal. 

 " Next door to everything in Beedom " fittingly de- 

 scribes our location. In the bee-supply business 

 distance is measured, not in miles but in hours and 

 minutes ; and the house that gives first service is 

 nearest the beekeeper. 



The but a short distance from the geographical 

 center of Ohio we are yet so near to West Virginia 

 and Pennsylvania, and so closely connected by trans- 

 portation lines, that we are truly " next door." 



Some idea of our importance as a distributing 

 center may be gained from the fact that more than 

 fifty mails arrive and as many depart daily, and 

 almost a hundred freight and express trains enter 

 and leave the city every twenty-four hours. 



Tlien our location in the city is most accessible. 

 Our office and warerooms are just off the main busi- 

 ness thorofare, in the heart of the wholesale dis- 

 trict, and only a stone's throw from depots, post 

 office, and the large retail stores. Beekeepers and 

 their friends are earnestly invited to make our store 

 their headquarters when in the city. 



The best goods and service justify us in promis- 

 ing our customers the fullest measure of satisfaction. 



March cash orders are subject to a cash discount 

 of 1 per cent off catalog prices. Clover looks most 

 promising for the coming season, and it is the part 

 of wise foresight to anticipate all possible require- 

 ments.
