WHY? 



To Beekeepers Everywhere : 



It is especially to a new generation of beekeepers that we want to say 

 this. The older beekeepers know it. We are a little proud of it, too. 

 Why is this Company today acknowledged everywhere to be the 

 leaders of the world in the Bee Supply business? It is 



BECAUSE 



We have been the pioneers in introducing to the beekeepers of America 

 the best and most important bee appliances in use today. We have 

 hunted for the new things in beekeeping and proved or disproved their 

 worth and practicability. We have spent fortunes in money and 

 years of time in experimenting on beekeeping ideas. 



A FEW EXAMPLES 



To mention only a few of these big ideas worked into practical ap- 

 pliances for the beekeeper and so enlarging his possibilities for success, 

 we mention : The Novice Honey Extractor, the Cowan Extractor, 

 the Root Reversible Extractor, the Weed Foundation Process, the 

 Dovetailed Hive, the Hoffman Self-Spacing Frame. 



To enlarge on only one of these great benefits to beekeepers, may we 

 draw attention to the fact that we not only make our own latest Root- 

 Weed Foundation Machinery, but we make every machine in the 

 world in which Weed-process foundation is made— and that is practi- 

 cally all of it. 



We shall keep going ahead and discovering the new things in bee 

 supplies, just as we have been doing now foroO^ears.
