ll The One Subject on Which all Beekeepers Can Agree ^ 



^ Lewis Sections! ' 



(^*»* There aiv many sub'i'cts on whii-h no two bGokecpors can atjjree; but here is one th(>y can 



^V^ a^'i'iH' on. Tlicy nil acknowled<j;'t' thatjLewis Sections are the best to be had -that they excel 



jr!^ in (juality and workinanship-and when you say Quality and Workmanship, you have said in, 



VJ=» all there is to be said about a honey section. ^i 



ljl2y Let us take you with us tliroui;h the different o\)erations and show you how Lewis Sections 122' 

 ^S are real Iv nmde. ' ^1 



/JVI Pii"st the material, which is the best Wisconsin whit^ basswood that can be obtained, is bouiiht 



^^ by an experienced buyer by the carloads — millions of feet of it. It arrives at the Lewis iac- 



>l=i torv in the board and is sorted as carefully as a woman picks over strawberries. 

 ^^ 



y«^ The best boai'ds are then sent on their buzziuiz; Journey through the factory — fed thi'ou^h a 

 \(^ planer watched over by a veteran in the business — sawed up into correct thicknesses and £5! 

 ft^ lens^ths and run thi'ough a polisher, tlie sandpaper polishiny bt)th ways of the ^rain. ^ 



m m. 



ft^ Then the particular work commences. Here is where the intricate machinery gets the strips, 



ftVI rabbets them, scores tiiem, dovetails them, and then the finished sections are packed away. 



fli-i But the secret is here: This delicate machinery is cai'ed for like a trotting- horse -the Lewis 



>j-" section foreman has been watchin<4 it, caring for it, keeping it right for the past thirty years. .-_

/5«^ "We have been using the G. B. Lewis Company's No. 1 Sections for several 



yjS years, and have a few other makes, but I find the Lewis goods the best. We 



V^ have put up about ;-5,000 sections so far this season, and have not found one 



y^ section in the lot that was not perfect. We find they fold perfectly and hold 



^^ together where some of the other makes come apart. We use the Rauchf uss ^1
