432 THE BEEKEEPERS' REVIEW 



TRADE 



The REVIEW is now buying all 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 go further than through the OLD, OUT OF DATE way of buying individually.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 come to the front and be one that will sav "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 ! 



It would be a "cold day" when Roderick Cameron, Shabbona, Michigan, would buy his 

 supplies otherwise than through the Review, for there is a reason, listen: — On August 13th, he 

 placed an order with the Review for $30.00 paying 121/4 per cent of it with two rebate checks 

 he had received from previous orders. He will get a nice rebate check on this last order, so you 

 see we will have an "endless chain," so to speak, with him (and others too) for you see he 

 could not afford to buy through other sources, where no rebate check would be forth-coming. 



Virgil Weaver, Falmouth, Ky. bought 100 ca'-es of 5 tb friction top pails, 12 in a re- 

 shipping case for which we quoted him a special price of $.55.00 per hundred. After making 

 him this unheard of low price, he I'eceived back a rebate check of .$3.00 when we mailed him his 

 bill. Do you i-emember what you had to pay for tin containers befoi'e the advent of the National 

 and now the Review has taken hold of this proposition for the producer ! Don't you begin to 

 see the possibilities of buying collectively ? The Review is now no doubt the largest distributor 

 of Tin Containers for Honey in the world. Is it any wonder than when we ask manufactui-ers 

 (we buy direct of the manufacturer) for their price on tin containers, that they "take notice" 

 for they know that their answer may make or lose many thousands of dollars in trade. Pat- 

 ronize the bridge that carries you across safely. No matter 'vhat any one quotes you for your 

 supply business, we can likely do as well, or better. At any rate you will be used very well. 



We could go on and fill this number of the REVIEW with similar instances of well 

 pleased R'EVIEW 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, ve will take the money and b'jy 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 

 evei-y sort to
