KARLY-OKDEB CASH DISCOUNT. 



This has been such a backward season that we have 

 followed suit and been backward in announcing- our 

 early-order cash discount. We have been obliged to 

 cut this down below that offered in former years; but 

 it is still sufficiently liberal to pay transportation 

 charges quite a distance, or to pay liberal interest on 

 the money invested in supplies early, and should at- 

 tract those fort-handed people who know pretty well 

 what they want for the comintj season. 



Before going to press with our catalog for next year 

 we may tind it necessary to make further advances 

 in price, so that we do not guarantee present prices 

 for the future. The small margin of profit the past 

 season, and the increased cost of material for next 

 season's output, warrants an advance. 



The following is the schedule of discounts for early 

 cash orders for bee-keepers' supplies, subject to the 

 conditions below: 

 For cash sent in September, deduct 5 per cent. 

 October, " 5 



November, " 454 

 December, " 4 

 January, " 3% " 



February, " 3 

 March. " 2ii " 



" April, " 2 



The discount is only for cash sent before the expira- 

 tion of the months named, and is intended to apply to 

 hives, sections, frames, foundation, extractors, smok- 

 ers, shipping-cases, cartons, and other miscellaneous 

 bee-keepers' supplies. It will not apply on the follow- 



ing articles exclusively; but where these form no more 

 than about one-tenth of the whole order the early or- 

 der discount may be taken from the entire bill: Tin- 

 ned wire, paint, Bingham smokers. Porter bee-es- 

 capes, glass and tin honey-packages, scales, bees and 

 quet-ns. bee-books and papers, labels, and other print- 

 ed matter, bushel boxes, seeds, and other specialties 

 not listed in our general catalog. 



A BARGAIN IN MUSIC. 



If any of our readers know of a mission church or 

 Sunday-school, or Christian Endeavor Society, in need 

 of singing-books we are in a position to do them some 

 good. We formerly sold large quantities of Gospel 

 Hymns, and have left in stock several lots of desirable 

 books which we will close out at about half price. 



We have 51 copies of Christian Endeavor edition of 

 C4ospel H\mns No. 6, words and music, board covers, 

 which sold at $35 CO per 100. We otter them to close 

 out at 20 cts. each. $2 00 per doz., or $7.50 for the lot. 

 We have also 14 cov>ies of Gosppl Hymns No. 6, which 

 sold at $30 00 ppr 100. This is the same book, except 

 that the C. E. edition has a few extra special C E. 

 songs in it which are not in the other. We offer these 

 at 20 cts. each, $2.00 for the lot. There are 33 copies 

 of Christian Endeavor Songs, a later edition than No. 

 6, which sold at $30.00 per 100. Price 20 cts. each. $2.00

 copies which we offer at 80 cts. per doz., $3.00 for the 

 lot; 8 cts. each, postpaid. 



HONEY-PACKAGES IN TIN 



This cut shows a box of two 60-lb. tin cans, which is the stan- 

 dard package for storing and shipping extracted honey. It is far 

 superior to barrels, because there is not the same chance for 

 leakage, or taint from the wood; and, being square, they econo- 

 mize space. Owing to light honey crops, the last two years, the 

 demand has been light, and we have a good stock bought below 

 the prices ruling at present. To reduce this stock we will ship 

 from Medina any orders mentioning this notice, at the following 

 special prices: One box, two cans, 80 cts.; 10 boxes, $7.50; 25 

 boxes or over, at 70 cts. a box. One box of one can, 50 cts.; 10 

 boxes, $4.50; 25 boxes or more, at 42 cts. a box. 



One-gallon square cans with iM-inch cap, 100 in a crate, at $10.00 

 per 100; 500 or over at $9.00 per 100; packed 10 in a case at $1.35 

 per case; 10 cases, $12.50.

 ished in natural 

 grain. Price, plain,
