C4 LEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE March, 1919 



iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiy 



Don't Take Our Word 



For the claims we make in regard to Dadant's Foundation. Ask the 

 beekeeiiers who have tried it side by side with other makes and who 

 KNOW its value by the results. 



READ THIS: 



I Dadant & Sons, Hamilton, III. I 



I Gentlemen: Yotirs is certainly the best foundation by far, | 



I and if there is an honest advertisement in the American Bee Jour- \ 



I nal, it is yours on the 401st page of the December issue, as I found | 



I my bees to be the same as A. N. Norton's, of New Mexico. I used \ 



I foundation from , and from — , and yours all last f 



i summer, and the bees drew out yours and worked more quickly | 



I on it than on either of the other two brands. The only difference I 



I that I cotdd see was tit at there was a little difference in color. There I 



i must be something that the bees can tell better than ice can. \ 



I Yours truly, \ 



I Woodhull, III, Dec. 23, 1918. ELMER KOMMEB. | 



ALSO THIS ONE: 



i Dadant & Sons, Hamilton, III. i 



I Gentlemen: At ivhat price will ijou furnish me 1,000 jjounds i 



I of Medium Brood Foundation, in sheets to fit the Hoffman frames, i 



I packed in cartons and also packed 25 pounds in a box? | 



I One of the reasons I have for asking the price in the above ' I 



I paragraph is that I have used a great deal of your foundation, as \ 



I well as that of other manufacturers, and the bees certainly work \ 



I on yours quicker than on others, and possibly I might prefer to | 



I sell my beeswax to you, or to others and buy your product, even | 



I if at some extra expense. I have about 40,000 drawn-out combs \ 



i from found<ition sheets and have aceumidated quite a bit of in- | 



I formation regarding the drawing out of full sheets of Comb \ 



i Foundation, etc. An early reply is requested. I 



I Yours very truly, | 



I AsheviUe, N. C, Dec. 27, 1918. ELTON WARNER. . \ 



M 1 Mr. Warner is a very extensive beekeeper, havina; large apiaries on the 1 1 



J I island of Porto Rieo. Certainly in drawing out 40,000 combs one would 1 1 



J I have a fine oi^portunity to note any preference of the bees for a cer- 1 H 



m I tain brand of foundation. I g 



H These testimonials and man_y others come to us unsolicited. They prove |B 



|| to us that Dadant's Foundation deserves the prestige that it enjoys. |g 



I j Insist on Dadant's Foundation. If you cannot get it of your dealer, U 



M I then order of us, | B 



ll Dadant & Sons, Hamilton, Ills. ||
