1919 AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL 71 



CYPRESS by TEST 

 Substitutes by TALK 



The PROOF? = Two Letters FROM BEEMEN : 



"Our correspondent makes serious complaints against and Makes a Plea for Cypress as a 



Beehive Material. We hope you will look into this matter," (Etc.) — and here's another: 



"Mr. , of , just came into the office. He informs us that they tried a car of Cypress 



Lumber last year for the first time, and are so well pleased with it that they are Ordering Another 

 Car for use in making Hive Bottoms." 



Is there value to you in an endurance test of 51 years in greenhouse sash? It is reported to us that sash 

 made of heart Cypress by a prominent greenhouse contractor in Chicago, and placed in position in a green- 

 house at Des Plaines, 111., in 1868, are Still Doing Service. 



It Will Serve You as Well and save you the nuisance and expense of repairs and replacements. 



The argument backed by such facts cannot be answered by mere talk. Ask the manufacturer or contrac- 

 tor who wants to give you a "substitute" for Cypress to cite to you an endurance test of 30 or 45 years to 

 the credit of the so-called "substitute." 



That is no more than a fair precaution on your part — good, ordinary business sense.
