used in Germany many years ago, where it 

 originated, but it remained for America to 

 invent a satisfactory press, several makes of 

 which are on the market, all capable of doing

 is surging through 

 the mass, as in the 

 case of the German 

 Wax Press and the 

 Hershiser Wax

 the heated sack has 

 been taken from the steamer, and Messrs. Hatch 

 and Gamil were successful pioneers in the per- 

 fection of the press that bears their names. 

 The latter plan is perhaps the best, and is fast 

 being adopted, as experience proves that there is
