GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Dec. 15 



We arc now Located at 



LUFFS, IOWA 



The ever increasing demand for our goods neces- 

 sitated the erection of a larger factory, with better 

 shipping facihties. . COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA, 

 is the greatest western railroad center, with fifteen 

 railroads radiating in every direction, with freight 

 rates for the West the same as from Omaha. Here 

 we have just completed the largest factory of its kind 

 in the West; modern, up-to-date in every detail; as 

 the oldest manufacturers of bee-keepers' supplies 

 (42 years' actual experience) we have gathered many 

 valuable ideas for the erection of a complete factory, 

 fitted with the best labor-saving machines, many con- 

 structed expressly for our work, operated by ten elec- 

 tric motors, all in charge of experienced workmen, 

 nearly all of whom have been with us for years. 



A railroad track not only runs to the doors of our 

 factory and warehouses, but also through the entire 

 length of lumber sheds and yards, so that carload 

 shipments can be loaded or unloaded direct into ware- 

 house and factory; paved streets right to the door of 

 the factory enable us to haul immense loads of goods 

 for local shipments, with little expense for drayage. 



WherevQr you are located, we can now make you 

 Direct shipment over this network of railroads, for 

 less freight, in less time, and less damage to goods 

 than from any other source. . By thus handling our 

 material expeditiously, with the best arrangement of 

 labor-saving machines, and material increase in work- 

 ing capital, we are now, more than ever, in position to 

 supply you with the Best goods now produced, at the 

 same price charged for inferior goods.
