 save freight, but get your goods much more promptly. We keep several carloads of

 sell BEES AND QUEENS. If you expect to use anything in the Apiarian line tlie coming year, you will do 

 well to send for our Catalogue. We would be pleased to quote you SPECIAL PRICES on what you want, 

 as this is our aull season, and we can atford to sell for small profits. Hives, Sections, etc.. are made in Wis-
