THE BEST IS THE 

 CHEAPEST 



This applies especially to bee supplies. 



Yes, in some isolated cases small lots of inferior goods can be bought 

 for less money than 



Lewis Beeware 



But bear in mind that when you buy Lewis Beeware you buy 

 something else besides good material and splendid workmanship — 

 This something else is 



Lewis Service 



It costs money to establish and maintain a distribution service where- 

 by no matter where you are you find Lewis Beeware almost at 

 your own door — to do this Lewis Distributors must stock up in ad- 

 vance and be all in readiness when the season comes to give you 

 what you want and when you want it. 



A Word About the Price of Bee Supplies 



Remember labor and lumber are the important elements entering 

 into Lewis Beeware. 



First— the Cost of Labor 



has not decreased since the Armistice was signed and prospects are 

 it will be no lower for some considerable time to come. 



Second— the Cost of Lumber 



is determined principally by the cost of labor and transportation. 

 Both of these are high and will stay high — everyone agrees. 



In a nut shell Lewis Beeware is sold at prices consistent 

 with prevailing markets and is worth all it costs. 



Order Lewis Beeware Early. Prices zvill be no Lozver this Season 

 Insist on the Beezvare Brand
