GOOD QUEEN, 

 strong healthy colony, 

 pride and profit to 



Make your weak run-down colo- 

 nies good ones by using young, 

 vigorous 3-band Italian Queens, 

 backed by 28 years of successful 

 breeding. With the cost of supplies 

 plus the cost of production, can 

 you afford colonies occupying per- 

 fectly good hives and combs, net- 

 ting you nothing or a small profit ? 

 We must produce our honey at 

 less cost, to meet the lower prices. 

 Can you make a better start than 

 by bringing those non-producers 

 to the front? Give them a queen 

 that will have the hive chock-full 



of young bees ready for the har- 

 vest, instead of being in a weak 

 condition when bees are needed 

 most. Give my imported stock a 

 trial. You risk not a penny; if 

 you are not satisfied, notify me 

 and I will replace or refund your 

 money. If the colony is too weak 

 for a queen alone, get one or two 

 pounds of my Italian Bees witli- 

 queen. Introduce to the old col- 

 ony and watch them build up. Let 

 me make you one of my satisfied 

 customers. I have thousands of 

 them in U. S. and Canada.
