is made of the best grade of white pine, accurately cut, so it will go together without the 

 use of tools, except a hammer. Such is the kind of hives we make, and such is the 

 kind you get when you buy from us. It is a cinch that we can make lower prices than 

 you can get from any dealer, as you can save the middleman's profits when you buy direct 

 from the manufacturer. We are manufacturers, and sell direct to the consumer. Send 

 us a list of your wants, and let us make you prices. We guarantee every thing we sell to 

 be satisfactory, or refund the money. We have large stocks of Dovetailed Hives, Sec- 

 tions, Shipping- cases, Foundation, Veils, Smokers, etc., on hand, and can ship promptly,
