It is an actual fact that twenty to forty per cent of the wax is 

 thrown away in melting up old combs in the ordinary way. 

 You can not get all the wax without applying pressure as well 

 as heat. The HATCH PRESS has been built to stand this 

 enormous strain, and at the same time is inexpensive to buy, 

 and costs little to operate. It has been on the market for sev- 

 eral years, and has "made good" everywhere. Listen a minute 

 while we read you Mr. Wagar's letter: 



Flat Rock, Mich., Feb. 1, 1911. 

 M. H. Hunt & Son, 



Lansing, Michigan. 

 Dear Sirs: 



I have had good success with the Hatch press. It more 

 than paid for itself by the wax I secured by putting some slum- 

 gum from the solar extractor throueh it. I secured 32 lbs. of 

 nice wax from the slumgum. Heretofore I had thrown It away. 

 I secured about three pounds of wax from every eight 

 combs I put through it. Without it I did not get half that 

 much. If plenty of water Is used, once through the press is 

 enough. I could not get enough wax the second time to pay 

 for the time and fuel doing it. 



I have not used it all day, so can not say how much I 

 could render in a day. The press is perfectly satisfactory to me. 

 Very truly yours, D. I. Wagar. 



P. S. — I was agreeably surprised by the amount of wax I 

 secured from the slumgum. 



Ask Yourself These Three Questions 



Would you like to get 32 lbs. of nice wax from slumgum? 

 Would you consider it a good investment to pay $G for a machine 

 that would make $10 worth of produce out of waste matter? 

 Did you notice that he said that it was "nice wax"?
