312 THE BEEKEEPERS' REVIEW 



TRADE 



The REVIEW is now buying a'.l kinds of beekeepers' supplies for the subscribers. We get 

 wholesale prices on all supplies, returning nearly all the difference between the list price and 

 wholesale price to the subscriber ordering. It is the desire of the REVIEW to make only enough 

 out of the supplies bought for the subscriber to pay postage and the cost of advertising. This 

 scheme is so liberal that ALL ought to take advantage of this buying privilege. 



Never before in the history of beekeeping have the masses had the privilege of buying their 

 supplies at near wholesale prices, and a person is very short sighted to pay the LONG CATA- 

 LOG PRICE for his supplies when this privilege of buying at the lower price is open. 



Have you got into such a "rut," that you MUST order your goods through the OLD HIGH 

 PRICED channel or are you progressive enough to break away from the "Ties that bind" and 

 come over into the new and better way of buying, i. e. that of buying collectively. Some one 

 has said that it would "take one hundred years to educate the people to the importance of 

 buying collectively.". About ten percent of beekeepers are NOW educated up to this standard 

 and are taking advantage of this grand privilege, and this appeal is to the other ninety per 

 cent who seem not to be able to comprehend that there is a possibility to make their dollars 

 go further than through the OLD, OUT OF DATE way of buying individually. 



The dealers will "tickle" when they hear you say, "I'm from Missouri, I have to be 

 shown" for they know the one uttering these sentences is so far behind the times that he 

 will live in the "old rut," to the benefit of the dealer and finally drop out, without ever re- 

 ceiving a single benefit from cooperation. DO NOT BE THE ONE TO STAND BACK TO BE 

 SHOWN, but some to the front and be one that will say "We will show them," and take the 

 word of your old friend Townsend, that we will win, AND IN LESS THAN A HUNDRED 

 YEARS, too. 



We hope to add another 10 per cent to the already well pleased 10 per cent that are now 

 buying through the REVIEW, before the end of the year, will you be one of them to save a 

 few dollars by this collective buying ! 



Subscriber Mr. D. C. Polhemus, Lamar, Colorado ordered a car of Tin Containers for honey 

 a year ago upon which we saved him $30.00. This year besides several local orders, we are 

 shipping him 40 foot furniture car containing the different sizes in friction top cans and pails, 

 also 60 lb. square honey cans, upon which we will likely save him $40.00 based upon prices he 

 had previously paid by buying individually, another instance where buying collectively has 

 "panned out" to the advantage of the collective buyer. 



A member of the Illinois State association paid $14.00 per hundred for gallon square 



syrup cans in corrugated paper mailing cases, the Review by buying on a large scale is able 



to sell a better one for only $11.00 per hundred. We could go on and fill this number of the 



REVIEW with similar instances of well pleased REVIEW customers who have saved all the 



way from a dollar to $30.00 on single deals they have bought through the REVIEW, but space 



forbids mentioning others at this time. You may think you are getting a very close price 



through the dealer you have been buying of along back, but all we ask is for you to send us 



the same money you have been paying in the past, you saying of whom you bought, we will take 



the money and buy at the very closest price possible, returning you the difference, if any. Do 



not write asking for prices, as we have none, but just make out your order as usual, inclosing 



the usual amount of exchange, say whose goods you want and we will do the rest. 



A trial order will convince you. Hereafter, address all orders for beekeepers' supplies of 

 every sort to 



THE BEEKEEPERS' REVIEW 



NORTHSTAR, MICHIGAN 

 Golden and Three Banded Italian Queens For Sale 



Th? Review has made arrangements with the following queen breeders to furnish Review 

 subscribers with (lueens at their price, listed in other part of this number of the Review. It 

 will be noticed that the list is of the most reliable breeders we have at the present time, and 

 we take pleasure in offering their stock as the very best obtainable at any price, not excepting 

 imported stock. We have spoken for a goodly number of those fine queens, so can promise our 

 readers very prompt delivery at the present time. 



The Island bred queens we are offering are produced by Mr. J. E. Marchant of Florida, and 

 as the name would suggest, are bred on an isolated island, free from imijure bees, consequently 

 ought to be all purely mated from select stock. The Marchant stock sells for some more money 

 than the others, and likely cost some more to produce. 



The Mr. John M. Davis strain of three banded Italians needs no introduction at this time.
