White wax, 25c per lb. extra, if wanted, \}\ii we consider 

 the yell6w in every respect preferable ; even for comb 

 honey. 



The fdn. is kept in stock, in sheets 12x18 inches, and 

 8xl6>4 inches [exact size needed for L. brood frames! 

 packed in boxes of 3, 5, 10, 25, 50 and lOO lbs. each, and 

 shipped only in these boxes at the above prices. 



There are 5 cells to the inch, and one jxjund of wax 

 makes fi-om 4 to it square feet of surface. The thinnest 

 will be U!.ed by the bees, but is not made into comb as' 

 qmckly as the heavier, which has a greater depth of cell. 



If 60 lbs. are wanted, send money for a 10 lb. box and a 

 50 lb. box, Ac. The difference in price is only enough to 

 cover the difference in cost of boxing, packing, &c.; five l<f 

 lb. boses, and packing, handling and nailing up live box- 

 es, cost much more ihan one 50 lb. box, and packing, 

 handling and nailing up one box. 



As these packages are all put up and kept in stock, 

 there can he no variation, unless at an additional price. 



Now, my friends, if you want all sorts of quantities, or 

 want it cut all sorts of sizes. I will accommodate you with 

 all the pleasure in the world, for ten cts. pee lb. extba.
