In presenting another Annual Catalogue to our customers and friends we can hardly add
anything to what has already been said in previous issues. Our facilities are unsurpassed, and
our ability to turn out first-class goods is well kn )wn to a host of bee keepers throughout
Christendom. We always strive to treat our customers honestly, courteously and with prompt¬
ness.—but we have always the advice to offer “ORDER EARLY.”
Our FALCON SECTIONS are unsurpassed in point of finish, accuracy of workmanship
and quality of material. They are without question the finest Sections manufactured. Our
goods have always been noted for their superior workmanship and quality and our large busi¬
ness has been built up on this fact more than any other.
We make almost everything that is described in this Catalogue. We have during the past
year added to our business a tin shop, so that we are not now dependent on others for our tin
work as heretofore.
If you do not find just what you want described in our Catalogue write to us and we will
give you special prices. We can furnish all kinds of Apiarian Supplies, whether we make them
or not, at lowest prices.
Dealers who issue a Catalogue will be furnished with Discount Sheet on application; others,
who handle supplies in a small way for the convenience of their neighbors, will be given special
terms.
Our Office, Factory, Saw-mill, Storehouses and Lumber Yards (see engraving on last page
of cover), occupy five acres and are situated at Falconer, N.Y., at the junction of the N. Y., P.
& O., B. & S. W. branch of the N. Y., L. E. & W. aqd D., A. V. & P. R. R., a branch of the
L. S. & M. S. R. R. and N. Y. C. & 11. R. R. R., and we have a switch running directly to our
factory, thus making our shipping facilities unsurpassed and enabling us to procure lowest rates
of freight. This is an advantage in buying of us which is doubtless often overlooked. Owing
to the fact of our being at a point of several competing roads we are able to obtain better freight
rates than places not as favorably located. We can ’‘bill through” to almost every point.

With sincere wishes for a successful season, we are, Yours very truly.

The W.T. FALCONER MFC. GO.

Jamestown, N.Y., January, 1898.

FRIGES, ETC.
Due notice of changes of prices, if any, will be given in The American Bee Keeper.

As our goods are not excelled in any particular, WE GUARANTEE ENTIRE SATISFACTION.
There are a few articles, such as Nails, Glass, Foundation, etc., that are subject to change without notice, though
the lowest prices possible will be charged at all times.
It has become customary to give discounts for certain months, and you can always depend upon our allowing as
liberal discount, for such months, as are offered by our competitors.

Goods will be shipped by either express or freight, at the very lowest ruling rates.

S^All claims for damage or shortage must be made at once on receipt of goods. Do not in any case return goods

before you write and we have directed what disposition to make of them.

As U is possible that some may hesitate to entrust money to us, we will refer such, as to our responsibility and
integrity, to either the Jamestown National Bank, Chautauqua County Trust Company, First National Bank, or Union
Trust Company, of Jamestown, N. Y.; or inquiry can be made of any Commercial Agency.
Remittances can be made by draft on New York, Post OESce Money Order, Registered Letter, or Express Money Order.
When remitting by Registered Letter, all sums less than one dollar can be sent in Postage Stamps of any denomination.
Coi n is apt to wear through the envelope and be lost. Please do not send money in an envelope without its being Regist ered.

“FALCON” CHAFF HIVE. Any means that can be employed to increase
the warmth of a hive is an advantage. The
This hive is now so well known that a de¬ following is a simple arrangement to accom¬
tailed description is unnecessary. The follow¬ plish this very cheaply. Take ordinary build¬
ing cut shows the inside arrangement (also ing paper and tack to sides and ends of hives
on inside, which accomplishes the same pur¬
pose as when applied to buildings. To make
a nice finish a V shaped tin should be used
made so as to lap over the top edge of paper
and on bevel of top edge of out^de of hive.
A strip of tin an inch wide before bending
will be sufficient. This tin, however, is not
really necessary if the top edge of paper is
well tacked. While we do not consider this
lining a necessity for the “Falcon” more tiun
for any other hive, at the same time it will
readily be seen that the air space between the,
outside of hive and paper will add greatly to
the warmth, and the paper at the same time
acting as an absorbent will take up any super¬
fluous moisture and furnish in a great measure
the peculiar advantages of the old-fashioned
straw hive.
This lining will not interfere with inside
arrangement of hive, and should be put on
after the hive is nailed up complete. It can
be put in without difficulty when the bees are
in the hive. We will furnish the paper cut to

This frame is the same as the thick-top
