SPECIAL BARGAINS 



In rearranging our stock we find a num'ier of 

 items no longer listed in our catalog, which some 

 of our readers may be glad to get at the bargain 

 prices at which we offer them to reduce stock or 

 clo>se out entirely. We list a number of these spe- 

 cials on this page, and may add others later as these 

 ai e disposed of. 



HIVE-HANDLES. 



We have a surplus stock of handhole cleats such 

 as we formerly included with all dovetailed hives, 

 and which have been listed at 75 cts. for 100, and 

 will dispose of them to those who want them at 25 

 cts. per 100; $2.00 per 1000. 



OLD-STVLE DOVETAILED CHAFF HIVES WITH BOTTOM 

 TO KAIL FAST. 



Of these old-style chaff hives we have a number of 

 eight-frame packed 5 in a package, which we offer 

 to close out as follows: YW 5/8, one story, eight 

 frames, 12 packages, five hives each, at $8.00. 



NO. 2 OR B GRADE HOFFMAN FRAMES. 



In culling over the material cut into Hoffman 

 frames, we find pieces with slight defects which we 

 do not want to put into perfect stock, but which are 

 usable, and too good to throw into the furnace for 

 fuel. We have accumulated some stock of such 

 frames, which are packed 100 in a box, and offer 

 them at $2.25 per 100; $10.00 per 500. These are 

 a bargain at the price, to one who is not too par- 

 ticu.ar as to what he uses. 



1% H. P. SIXTY-SPEED ENGINE. 



We have in stock two of the engines we formerly 

 listed as sixty speed before adopting the Busy Bee 

 engine. These are mounted on wheels, and have a 

 counter shaft by means of which 60 different speeds 

 can be obtained by the various changes of pulley 

 sizes on the counter. This engine sold for $60.00. 

 V\e offer these to close out at $45.00 each. __^^ 



WHEELBARROW WHEELS. 



We have a number of extra steel wheels for wheel- 

 barrows, which we offer at a special price of $1.25 

 each, or including a pair of springs with bearings, 

 for $2.00. These wheels are 20 inches in diameter, 

 with 11/2 -inch tire, and solid cast hub holding spokes 

 and axle in place. These wheels regularly sell at 

 $1.75, and springs at 50 cts. each. 



SUI'EKS FOR EXTRACTING OR CHUNK HONEY. 



We are offering, while they last, the following 

 bargains in nailed supers for extracted honey. Some 

 have been slightly used, and are in good condition. 

 Prices f. o. b. Medina. 



200 D9/10, nailed and painted, with top and 

 bottom starters, nine frames in each, new. Sell new 

 for $1.20; offered at $6,00 for 10; $55.00 per 100. 



180 8/10 supers, no paint. Sell new for 85 cts.; 

 offered at $4.50 per 10; $40,00 per 100. 



The first two lots are the 5% -inch supers with 

 hanger cleats and shallow Danz. frames. The last 

 lot are the same depth supers with shallow Hoffman 

 frames hanging in rabbeted ends. Either style may 

 be used for extracting or divisible brood-chambers. 

 The price at which we offer them all nailed up is 

 much below the regular price of same shipped in 

 flat. 



ALEXANDER FEEDERS FOR EIGHT-FRAME HIVES. 



The -Alexander feeder as we now make it is adapt- 

 ed to cither eight or ten frame hives. Formerly we 

 made a shorter length for the eight frame than for 

 the ten-frame hive. In cleaning up old stock we 

 find 300 of these eight-frame feeders which we offer, 

 to close out, at half regular price — viz., 15 cts.' 

 each; $1.35 for 10; $11.00 per 100; $30.00 for the 

 lot. 



TIN COMB-BUCKETS. 



While these are listed in the catalog in one line 

 at $1.50 each, their convenience in carrying combs 

 to the extractor shut up from robbers is not set 

 forth. We have a surplus stock, and offer them, to 

 reduce the number on hand, at $1.25 each. You 

 can place four Hoffman frames or five non-spaced 

 frames of Laugstroth size in each bucket. 



JONES HONEY-KNIVES. 



This is a form of honey-knife used largely in 

 Canada, and preferred to the Bingham by those who 

 have tried it. The blade is 1 % inches wide, and a 

 flat V or triangular shape. We had a lot made to 

 supply a call we had, and still have in stock 28 of 

 them. We offer them at 75 cts. each. Mailed as a 

 pound parcel when packed. 



TUMBLERS HOLDING 6% OZ., 40 DOZ. TO BARREL. 



Having a surplus stock of honey-tumblers packed 

 40 dozen to barrel, including tin tops and wax- 

 packed liners, we offer them for a short time, to 

 reduce stock, at $6.00 per barrel, or $5.70 in 5-bar- 

 rel lots, shipped direct from Medina. 



SHIPPING-CASES FOR 12 AND 24 SECTIONS. 



When we discontinued listing shipping-cases to 

 hold 12 sections we still had quite a stock of various 

 styles on hand, many of which are still in stock. 

 We have also some of the older styles of cases for 

 24 sections of various sizes. We offer these various 

 cases to close out at the following bargain prices. 

 Here is an opportunity to lay in a stock of cases 

 preparatory to the honey crop near at hand at very 

 low prices. None of these cases, except as noted, 

 are large enough to take sections with cartons or 

 corrugated liners, except the bottom sheet. 12-lb. 2 

 or 3 row cases with 2 and 3 inch glass for the 4%, 

 xl%, 4% xl%, 4x5x1% sections, packed 50 in 

 a crate at $4.00 a crate; packed 10 in a crate at 

 85 cts. a crate. A few crates of cases for 16 sec- 

 tions 41/4 X 178 at $4.50 per crate of 50 or 95 cts. 

 per crate of 10. A few crates of cases for 24 sec- 

 tions 4 14 X 1 % , and 4 14 x 1 % , and 4x5x1% at 

 $8.00 per crate of 50; $4.00 per crate of 25, or 

 $1.70 per crate of 10. The 12-lb. safety cases, 

 which we no longer list with safety cartons, and 

 2-inch glass for 4^/4x1%, 4V4xlV^; and 4x5 x 

 1% sections, per crate of 10, $1.20; per crate of 

 25, $3.00. Without cartons, but including corrugat- 

 ed liners and glass, $4.50 per crate of 50. 



NO. 2 OR B GRADE SECTIONS. 



We have a surplus stock of B grade sections in all 

 the commonly used sizes and styles, and are behind 

 on orders for No. 1 or A grade in some kinds. To 

 insure prompt shipment it may be advisable to order 

 B grades if you can use that -rade. In beeway 

 style the B grade costs 50 cts. per 1000 less than A 

 grade, while in the plain or no-beeway styles the 

 reduction for B grade is 75 cts. per 1000. The loss 

 from unusable sections in B grade is very little 

 more than in the A grade. Try them if you have 

 not done so. 



TOBACCO DUST FOR KILLING INSECTS, 



Fine tobacco du.st is used for dusting on lettuce 

 and other plants for killing the insects, as well as 

 for fertilizer. We have two kinds of dust — the very 

 fine, from ground stems, which we offer at 20 cts. 

 for 10 lbs.; $1,50 per 100 lbs., or a case of about 

 400 lbs. at $1.00 per 100 lbs. We can supply, also, 

 a much coarser dust from leaves, which is much 

 stronger, at 50 cts. per 10 lbs., $3.50 per 100 lbs.
