A suggestion about Oberstein keeping the adverts. He could have thought he just might have needed to refer the exact wording that he'd put in the paper. Also, the exact wording that had appeared, not always the same thing.
I wonder if, when Watson wrote this, he knew the irony that Bruce-Partington's plans were duds, as we know now?
edit: and thank you for pointing out that about the bee hives. I like that idea!
