THALE'S REGULATIVE VACUUM BEE-FEEDER 



This illustration shows the special designed 

 bottle which controls the feed on Thale's Regu- 

 lative Vacuum Bee-Feeder. This feeder is de- 

 signed under the latest scientific method of con- 

 trolling the feed by means of Vacuum and keep- 

 ing the feed at a certain level, and in reach of 

 the bees at all times. The slide is the means of 

 increasing or decreasing the amount of feed. (See 

 March 1st issue.) This feeder is manufactured by 

 the most skillful workmen, and its construction is 

 perfect. Over 42,000 of these feeders are now in 

 use, and some of those who have received them 

 have re-ordered more, and have expressed their 

 opinion that this feeder will unquestionably be the 

 most profitable investment for the bee-keepers. The 

 Chicago-Northwestern Bee-Keepers' Association, 

 which was held in Chicago, Dec. 17-18, 1913, to 

 whom I have described and demonstrated this feed- 

 er in detail and in use, gives the following endorse- 

 ment :

 Dear Sir: — 



I received the sample bee-feeder all O. K. and I think I will like it fine. 

 feeders complete and 25 e.xtra bottles with cork valve. 



Enclosed find check in settlement for same. This is iiuite a bee country and the main 

 drawback has been that they don't get strong quite early enough to take proper advantage 

 of the earliest clover blossoms. 



Now, if you would like an agent in this part of the country I'm sure I can make some 

 heavy sales for you, as I am acquainted with bee-keepers owning from 1,000 to 1,500 

 colonies. Please let me hear from you at once. 



Respectfully, D. B. HERSPERGER. 



I want over 100,000 of these feeders in use by June 1. I will ship you as many feeders 

 as you need on ten days' free trial in your own apiaiy, and if these feeders do not work
