To get those hives, frames, sections and other 

 supplies you will soon be needing. 



We wish we could effectually impress upon the 

 minds of all beekeepers the absolute necessity for 

 ordering early. Did you ever wait impatiently 

 for supplies when a big honey-flow was on? Did 

 you not then resolve to order earlier next time? 



Then Do It! 



Another month may be too late. Express and 

 freight deliveries are slower than they have ever 

 been before. 



Send your order to our nearest service branch.

BECAUSE IT LASTS 



That is One Argument in Favor of 

 Cypress as a Beekeeper's Lumber 



There are many qualities that make the value in lumber, depend- 

 ing, of course, on the uses to which they are put. Hut of all vir- 

 tues that of endurance comes first. The wood that resists rot in- 

 llui'iiccs longest, especially when the wood is used in a service by 



which it is exposed to wet and dry conditions and earth contact — that wood is accredited with being able 



to give the user the greatest INVESTMENT VALUE. 



\u use tries the lasting qualities of lumber greater than that of Bee Hive construction. It is the very deuce 

 to get lumber that will not too readily rot — unless one gets Cypress lumber. Then there is a good show for 

 endurance that means real money saved on repairs you don't have to make. Try it, Mr. Beekeeper. 



STUDY THE WOOD QUESTION 



There's one way to get at this matter i>t endurance — through books of authority. Such are the 41 volumes 

 of the internationally famous Cypress Pocket Library. These books are not "advertising" — thej ate authori- 

 tative references on tile in the libraries of scores oi technical schools and National institutes. Ask tor Vol. 

 1 to start with; it contains the complete U. S. < fovt. Kept, on Cypress, "The Wood Eternal," and a full list 

 of the other volumes; then branch out until you cover the subject.
