falcon" Beekeepers' Supplies 



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

 has been our endeavor to pla?e upon the market the very best ])ossibIe 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 

 making ui> your wants now you will be better fitted to go into the season with a view 

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

 you will make up a list of requirements for cjuotation wo shall be glad to quote.

(now that's just what I heard three bee- 

 keepers all together unanimously and gladly 

 call him) of Philadelphia was trying to buy 

 honey for the A. I. E. Line people right in 

 that vicinity, and it brought a holler out of 

 him. I guess it did. That Selser brand of 

 holler sounded half like the roar of a lion 

 with its tail pinclied (hard) and half like a 

 dead-sure earnest scream for help — sort of a 

 drowning man 's holler only worser. It 

 reached Medina by telegraph, but a fellow 

 with good hearin ', if he was listenin ', could 

 have heard it wireless in San Francisco Bay 

 — it was such a loud holler. Honey had 

 dried up just altogether completely and 

 simultaneously at Selser 's price in New 

 York state, after Eoot's talk. Then when 

 E. E. got to New York city, the honey- 

 brokers had got a report of his speech — and 

 they told him too. They told him a-plenty 

 • — mostly that he had better go home and dry 

 u]), for he had "spilled the beans" for sure. 

 He didn 't get a kind look anywhere — not 

 even from the Air Line direction. Nosiree. 

 He was the real orjjhan boy. He didu 't 

 know what he 'd get when he got home, 

 either. ' ' Gleanings ' ' gave him a regular 

 hero-home reception — and he was glad to 

 hear a kind word again. What other sort he 

 has had since he got home, I don't know — 

 and he says he ain 't carin '. But this is a 

 fair sort of candid explanation of why he 

 looked so when he put his grip down on the 

 railroad station platform at Medina this 

 morning. (P. S. — This will never get into 

 print if one of the editors sees it in ad- 

 vance. The printing-room foreman says 

 he's with me and they shan't. Dear readers, 

 if you never, never more hear from poor 

 M.-A.-O., goodbye. You '11 know why. Others 

 must die — why not I?) (Another P. S. — I 

 positively have nothing agin MR. Selser. 

 My bees didn't produce a pound of surplus, 

 so I hain't got any honey to sell, anyway.) 



See to n that every colony goes into winter quar 

 ters headed by a YOUJSTG VIGOROUS ITALIAN 

 QUEEN. Yonng queens mean perfect wintering, and 

 strong colonies early in the sjiring, that will produce 

 honey which will be sure to sell at a high price next 

 season. We sell but one grade of queens, tlie be.st 

 we know how to produce.
