For the last forty odd years during our manufacture of "FALCON" supplies it 

 has been our endeavor to place upon the market the very best possible line of supplies, 

 and we pride ourselves in having accomplished this. "FALCON" supplies have not 

 only been recognized as the best in this country, but also a leader in other countries. 

 Nothing expresses the superiority of the "FALCON" ware better than the many kind 

 and pleasing words we receive from our satisfied customers, and the ever-increasing 

 demand for "FALCON" supplies. 



The season is drawing nearer and beekeepers should endeavor to order early. By

 of not only obtaining a bigger crop but to facilitate matters thruout the season. If
