EXPERT BEE-KEEPERS 



THERE is a large demand for expert bee-keepers all over the country. We 

 have not been able to supply men to fill the requests that have come to us. 

 Our Correspondence School can fit men to fill such positions, and every one of 

 our graduates has had an abundance of opportunities to select from. But our 

 school is not for this purpose alone. It will teach any man or woman anywhere to 

 become a good bee-keeper. It's the quickest and easiest way to learn bee-keeping. 

 Write for our prospectus. A postal card will do. This prospectus will tell you just 

 who can take up bee-keeping to advantage, and gives complete synopsis of course.
