U^ There are many subjects on which no two beekeepers can agree ; but here is one they can |^W 



«^ agi-ee on. They all acknowledge that Lewis Sections are the best to be had—that they excel 15?^ 



fj!^ in quality and workmanship- and when you say Quality and Workmanship, you have said m^S. 



\t4i all there is to be said about a honey section. ^<

W^ are really made. ^►^

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

vD^C section in tiie lot that was not perfect. We find they fold perfectly and hold t^v
