WILLIAMS AUTOMATIC REVERSIBLE 



HONEY - EXTRACTOR. 



Perfect in principle and workings. Here is what 

 the veteran bee-keeper, N. E. France, of Platteville, 

 Wi< , says of it: " I consider the Williams Automat- 

 ic Reversible Extractor head and shoulders above 

 any I have ever used, and. furthermore, consider it 

 the BEST on the market." Mr. France produces 

 extracted honey by the carload, so he is good au- 

 thority on extrHCtors. For |irice list No. 1 of Ex-
