 In fact anything in the line of Bee Supplies 



Have you ordered your supplies yet for the season of 1919 which is now with us, or are you waiting for the 

 last moment to come around when the supplies now carried in stock will be nearly exhausted, or the ship- 

 ping department so busy that they will not be able to give you the quick service which you naturally ex- 

 pect? Just stop and think what would happen if all beekeepers would do this. To relieve the situation and 

 to help conditions in general, get your order in at once. , 



We are prepared to make immediate shipments from our large warehouses, which were packed to the brim 

 before the season started. 



You all know what the "Falcon" line is, and you ought to know what the Falcon service is. If you 

 never ordered from us before, better let us have the next order to convince you not only for once, but 

 forever.

Where the Best Beehives Ceme Frem 



SUPERIOR FOUNDATION Again Wins 



Linden, Alabama, Sept. 5, 1919. 



SUPERIOR HONEY CO., 



Ogden, Utah, 

 Gentlemen : 



I have tested your Superior Foundation with that of the party who claimed that the bees would 

 take to theirs first, and also with that of another manufacturer. I first selected 3 two-story hives, 

 from which I extracted the honey, and noted the amount of honey from each hive. There was less 

 than a pint of honey difference in any two of them, indicating that they were of about equal 

 strength. I then filled 3 lots of 9 frames each with foundation of the three makes, being care- 

 ful to write the name of each manufacturer on the frames in which I placed each sheet of founda- 

 tion. Then I placed each 9 frames in a hive body, placing the covers on and setting them on the hives, 

 not knowing on which hive anyone's foundation was placed Then I opened them and wrote each 

 name on the outside, numbering the hives and the date placed. With the remaining sheets I filled 5 

 frames with Superior Foundation and 5 frames with Dadant's Foundation, which was bought at Sail 

 Antonio, Texas, and which was not opened up until the same time yours was opened. I tried to be 

 fair with everyone, for I wanted the best foundation, and if theirs was what they claimed, I wanted 

 it and nothing else. 



This test was made on Aug. 10, 1919. Today, Sept. S, 1919. the Supeiior Foundation on hive No. 2 

 is every single frame drawn out and filled with honey and brood. On hive No. 3 the Dadant Founda- 

 tion is about .me-half drawn. On hive No. 1 the other make of foundation is almost fully drawn out 

 and is being filled with brood and honey. I would estimate that Superior Foundation is 95 per cent 

 drawn, Dadant's about 45 per cent, and the other make about 65 per cent. On hive No. 4, one-half Su- 

 perior Foundation and one-half Dadant's, the b'jes began on Superior Foundation and filled it our, 

 and filled 3 frames of Dadant's, or about 100 per cent Superior against 60 per cent Dadant's. 



Aside from all this, I did not see the slightest defect in any sheet of Superior Foundation. 

 Your foundation is also a little longer than Dadant's and almost fills the Hoffman frame, while theirs 

 has too much play at each end. 



If you will have a supply I will buy my foundation from you next season, and my friends will 

 doubtless do the same. Very respectfully yours, 



J. E. SUTTON.
