EABLY-ORDEB CASH DISCOXTNT. 



We have been obliged to cut down the early-order 

 cash discount 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 forehanded people who know pretty well 

 what they want for the coming season. 



The following is the schedule of discounts for early 

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

 conditions below: 

 For cash sent in October, deduct 



November, 

 " " " December, 



January, 

 " February, 

 " " March, " 



" April, 



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- 



5 per cent.

GOSPEL HYMNS AT HALF PRICE. 



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 

 Gospel Hymns No. 6, words and music, board covers, 

 which sold at $35.00 per 100. We offer them to close 

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

 We have also 14 copies of Gospel Hymns No. 6, which

 solidated, Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, words only, large-type edi-

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 15^ -inch cap, 100 in aerate, 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.
