NO. 2 sections. 



We wish to direct attention to our No. 2 grade of 

 sections. We have an unusually large stock of all 

 standard sizes, both beeway and plain, and the quality 

 is far above the average for No. 2 grade. Indeed, we 

 believe they are superior to many so-called No. 1 grade 

 on the market to-day- The great majority are perfect 

 in all respects except that they are somewhat creamy 

 in color. The wood is as strong and the workmanship 

 fully equal to the No. 1 graie. Our surplus stock of 



No. 1 grade is exhausted, and we may have difficulty in 

 making them fast enough to supply all orders prompt- 

 ly. In many cases it may be an advantage to get No. 2 

 grade promptly rather than have orders delayed wait- 

 ing for No, 1. Your honey will look as well and sell as 

 well in No. 2 sections as in No. 1. Let us have your 

 orders for a larger proportion of the No. 2 grades. We 

 are running overtime on both sections and comb foun- 

 dation in an effort to supply them as fast as needed. 



COMB foundation. 

 We have been fortunate in securing an adequate sup- 

 ply of beeswax to keep our foundation machinery run- 

 ning to its full capacity. The demand for foundation 

 has been enormous, and it takes a lot of wax to keep us 

 going. We have secured from one firm within a few 

 weeks as much as ten tons. We hope now to get 

 through this season without raising the price of comb 

 foundation. For the present we continue paying 29 

 cents cash, 31 in trade, for average wax delivered here. 

 The price will, no doubt, be marked down somewhat 

 next month. If you have any wax to dispose of we 

 would advise your shipping it without delay.
