LEWIS SECTIONS 



HAVE 



INDIVIDUALITY 



BECAUSE they are in a class by themselves. They are not like other sections. 

 Very rarely do they break in folding — in fact, one of our customers writes us 

 that he has put up (folded) thirty thousand Lewis sections in a season and had 

 not found one section in the whole lot that was not perfect. Beekeepers every- 

 where, no matter what their preference may be for hives or other bee equipment, 

 agree when it comes to sections that Lewis sections are supreme. This is — 



BECAUSE the material which goes into a LEWIS SECTION is of the right kind, 

 t'spec-ially selected for the purpose. The stock is assorted and re-sorted — the 

 discolored stock thrown out, leaving only the whitest material to go into LEWIS 

 SECTIONS. 



BECAUSE the V groove, which is the most important process in the manufacture 

 of a section, is made just right. In the LEWIS SECTION it is cut just deep 

 enough so that the section will not break in folding. The LEWIS SECTION ex- 

 pert has been supervising the manufacture of LEWIS SECTIONS for over thirty 

 years. 



BECAUSE the finishing of the section is given the utmost care. The LEWIS 

 SECTION is polished on both sides in a double-surfacing sanding machine de- 

 signed i]i the Lewis plant especially for this pur])ose. It insures the uniform 

 thickness of each and every section. The dovetailing of the ends is smooth, 

 clean, and just right. 



BECAUSE, even after LEWIS SECTIONS are completely manufactured, the 

 packing is considered a very important i)art of the marketing. All Ij ill WIS 

 SECTIONS are i)ut up in regular standard packages containing a good full count. 

 A tight wooden box is used, entirely enclosing the contents so that no discolora- 

 tion from air can occur, no matter how long the sections are carried in stock. 

 The package is also strongly braced at the corners, insuring delivery to you in 

 good order. 



AT THE SAME PRICE YOU PAY FOR OTHER 

 STANDARD MAKES OP SECTIONS YOU GET ALL 

 OF THE ABOVE WHEN YOU BUY LEWIS SECTIONS. 



Insist on Lewis Sections. Look for the Beeware Brand.
