THREE WAYS IN WHICH 

 BEEKEEPERS CAN SAVE 



So loug as lumber, together with all kinds of irou products and 

 labor costs, remain at present abnormal prices, the prices of bee- 

 keepers ' supplies will have to remain abnormally high, too. We 

 dislike this situation as much as the beekeeper. It is no good to 

 us, and we know it, and we trust the situation will correct itself 

 as the war times recede. 



In the meantime can the beekeeper do anything to economize 

 and at the same time keep his business going full steam ahead? 

 He can. There are three ways open to him right now: 



Money-Saving Pre-War Prices. — There are pre-war prices still 

 existing on some considerable lists of goods kept at our Branch 

 Offices at Philadelphia, Norfolk, Indianapolis and Chicago, and at 

 the Home Office at Medina. These lists of very low-priced supplies 

 include shipping cases, bottom-boards, covers, frames, sections, smok- 

 ers, queen-rearing tools, fences and separators, etc. These are new 

 goods, but in most cases they are in sizes or styles that we no 

 longer list and so prefer to close them out at a big sacrifice. Those 

 who can manage to use these goods will make a big saving by order- 

 ing while they last. The prices are only % to % the prices now 

 made on standard goods. They are offered subject to previous sale. 

 Don "t delay. Write for lists to Medina home office. 



Save Freight Charges. — We have car-lot agents at many points 

 over the United States as well as Branch Offices at 23 Leonard St., 

 New York; 10 Vine St., Philadelphia; 224 West Huron St., Chicago; 

 290 East 6th St., St. Paul; 10 Commerce St., Norfolk, Va.; 873 

 Massachusetts Ave., Indianapolis; 224 Poydras St., New Orleans. 

 By ordering from our nearest agent or Branch Office you will save 

 freight charges — and these freight charges have advanced about 70% 

 as the result of the war. 



Early Order Discounts. — By taking advantage of our early order 

 cash discounts you can save 7% in October, 6% in November and 

 5% in December. Send for our year-end special price sheet, too, 

 wlicn t;iking advantage of tliesc early order discounts.
