Its value will be the more appreciated by studying the fol- Ibwing original literature:—"The British Bee Journal," November 13; "Bee Craft," December; and "The Bee World," September, October, and November, 1919. n S 5 S 5 u S 5 S n XX n n n n n n RETAIL PRICES. C The metal foundation ("worker" type) can now be produced in any size required, whether for the brood chamber or the super, , for the British Standard Frame (14 in. X 8Y2 in.). Deep Standard (14 in. x 12 in.), Simmins' (16 in. x 10 in.), Lang- stroth (175^ in. x 9Yq in.), etc., and for their corresponding super frames. Despite the heavy cost of machinery, metal, etc., it is offered at a price lOell within the pur- chasing power of the average bee-lzeeper. All orders, whether large or small, receive prompt attention, and are executed in strict rotation, and in good time jor the season. We have further decided—for the benefit of bee-keepers who are not yet in a position t-j place their orders—on taking the risk of a liberal margin of production to meet unavoidably delayed orders, Ij you have not yet made
