^ Cheap Lumber; Eflicient Machinery; and 

 Years of Experience. 







i6^ r^HERE is probabl}^ no firm in the W^est more W 



favorabl}^ situated or better equiped for the W 



furnishing of first-class bee-hives, sections, ^{\a 



shipping-cases, etc., at a very low price than that ^'() 



of the Page & Lyon Mfg. Co., of New London, # 



Wisconsin; whose factory and warehouse are shown W 



upon the opposite page. They are located near the ^f\> 



forests from which come the logs for making lum- ^p 



ber; they own tracts of timber-land; they have two ^0? 



saw mills of their own; thus it will be seen that that W 



most expensive factor in the making of hives and W. 



sections — lumber — comes into their factory at i\Q/? 



actual cost. Still further, instead of using clear- ^P 



stuff basswood for sections, they are able to saw W 



white strips off the edges of low grades before W 



shipping. As regards machinery, it is only nee- ^A/J 



essary to sa}^ they have the best money can buy — ^'f 



sparing nothing that will aid in lowering the cost W 



or improving the quality of their goods. For in- W 



stance, the outside of the sections are planed in- k^av 



stead of sandpapered, which gives them a smooth, ^{jp 



shining, polished surface. Back of this are nearly W 



twenty years of experience. All this explains how ^j^ 



it is that this firm sells goods so low as to some- k-qv) 



times draw remonstrances from competitors. Send ^p 



for their catalogue and compare their prices witli ^0^ 



those of others. w
