GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



May 1 



Hundred Cents on a Dollar 



Is What You Get if You Order Lewis Goods 



FRAMES 



The frames you sent me were duly re- 

 ceived, and they are the best, finest, and 

 nicest frames I have ever had. 



H. P. Wilson, Bathgate, N. D. 

 Received my 100 brood-frames in fine 

 shape, and I am well pleased with them. 

 They are the best I have ever put together. 

 D. S. Haag, Rock City, 111. 

 I find frames, fences, covers, hive bodies 

 and bottoms perfect, and made of the fin- 

 est lumber I ever saw supplies made of. 

 D. M. Landenslayer, Mackeyville, Pa. 



PROMPTNESS 



1 would like to thank you for your 

 prompt way of doing business in such a 

 season as this when every one is excited. 

 E. W. Coe, Aug., 1903, Clarence, la. 

 I wish to acknowledge receipt of the 

 goods ordered from you and thank you 

 for your promptness in sending them 



Claude L. Madison, Alden, III. 



RESPONSIBILITY 



Remembering how well you did vdth 

 me over 22 years ago on some hives I 

 bought, I hope we may come together 

 again on a small deal. 



Leopold Moller, Fremont, Neb. 

 I thank you for thirty years of friendly 

 dealings. 



C. Theilman, Theilman, Minn. 

 Don't worry about us not handling your 

 goods. I have used and sold your goods 

 for 15 years, and consider them the finest 

 beeware made. 



J. Enyhart & Son, McFall, Mo. 

 I am well pleased with your way of do- 

 ing business, and satisfied with all goods 

 received from your factory. Can say that 

 they are much better than I can get any 

 place else. 



J. F. Nolte, Redfield, la. 



I received goods o. k. It is a pleasure to 

 deal with a firm like yours 



H. Luke, Burlington, Wis. 



PACKING 



We think your policy of packing 

 goods in first-class shape and a spe- 

 cified number to the crate is a win- 

 ning card. 



The Chas. H. Lilly Co., 



Seattle, Wash. 

 I consider your freedom from rnis- 

 takes quite wonderful considering 

 the number and variety of pieces in 

 the various lines of goods you carry. 

 W. C Gibson, 

 National Home, Milwaukee, Wis. 



SECTIONS 



Received my sections in fine shape and 

 am well pleased with them. They are the 

 best sections I have ever put together. 

 Arthur Strampe, Paullina, la. 



I want to say that I consider your make 

 of sections the nearest perfect I have ever 

 had. I have folded packages of 500 with- 

 out breaking one, and I can not say that of 

 others 1 have used. 



George Brown, Deerfield, la. 



During the last four years I have bought 

 10,000 sections from three other firms. Be- 

 fore, 1 had used yours for several years; 

 but have decided, after a thorough trial, 

 that yours are the best and most perfect 

 sections in every way that I've ever used. 

 David Foote, Riceville, la. 



Everybody wants Lewis Sections. 



A. W. Swan, Centralia, Kan. 



I have used your supplies exclusively 

 for almost 14 years, especially the sections, 

 and I don t want any other kind. 



C. H. Harlan, Mora, Minn. 



I have received those sections in good 

 shape, and I am well pleased with same. 

 They aro all right in every way. I shall 

 recommend your bee-supplies to other 

 bee-keepers. I think you make better 

 goods than any other firm in the world. 

 Accept my thanks. 



Geo. B. McDaniels, Grand View, la. 



HIVES 



We note that the Lewis goods for the 

 season of 1906 are finer than ever. Hives 

 and hive parts are without any knots. In 

 fact, they are so nice that we are very 

 much surprised, as we supposed that, as 

 lumber goc scarcer and higher, necessarily 

 poorer grades of lumber would have to be 

 used We are receiving many conipli- 

 ments on the Lewis goods we are shipping 

 out. A. G. Wooodman Co , 



Grand Rapids, Mich. 



About two months ago I bought 25 of 



your eight-frame Dovetailed hives and I 



put these together without losing a single 



piece. I find these hives to be better than 



any other 1 have ever used. Although I 



have a gas-engine and good tools I 



can buy your hives cheaper, and 



more accurately made. 



E. K. Meredith, Batavia, 111. 



Your hives look as if they had 

 been sandpapered after they are 

 nailed up. I have just finished nail- 

 ing up 40 two- story hives, and they 

 are as nice as could be. 



L. B. Smith. Rescue, Tex. 



Extravagance in tKe Guise of Economy j^ j^ 



When you order bee-supplies, don't sit down and write to a dozen or more concerns, pick out the 

 cheapest dealer, order your gcK)ds from him, and then think you are being economical. If you do, you 

 only fool yourself. It doesn't pay to buy poor bee-supplies any more than it pays to send for a poor 

 doctor when you are ill. Lewis goods have been on the market thirty years. They ought to be nearly 

 perfect by this time, and so they are. All parts accurately fitted, smoothly planed, going together like 

 the parts of a watch, made of fine, clear, clean white Wisconsin pine and basswood.
