GERMAN WAX-PEESS 



Save all of your old comb, 6craps of wax and slumgum, and in- 

 Btead of allowingthem to become scattered or worm-aaten, or rendered 

 in some wasteful methoil, put them into a German Wax-Extractor and 

 you will be surprised at the amount of wax you can obtain and profits 

 make. With a German Wax-Preas you can get every particle of wax 

 out of old combs. Much of the slumgum from solar extractors and 

 other machines contains a very large percentage of wax that can be 

 separated with our machine. Indeed, some bee-keepers buy up all the 

 slumgum they can, and with the use of a German Wax-Press make 

 ■excellent profits from what otherwise would have been thrown away. 



Our Press may also be used as a honey-press. Loose or broken 

 chunks of honey that are too small for an extractor may be extracted 

 in this Press without application of heat, and the honey be as good as 

 though extracted in the ordinary way. With every Wax-Press we 

 furnish an uncapping arm. This arm, with scraping stick, is slipped 

 over the edge of the can with the basket in place. The cappings drop 

 down into this and are drained. This machine, therefore, serves three 

 purposes, and is almost indispensable in any well-regulated apiary. 



The machine is made in the best possible manner. The cross arm 

 is of the best selected oak, and will stand any strain. Bolts projecting 

 through the ends of the arm engage with corresponding ears on the 

 can in such away that a side circular movement instantly releases it. 



Before closing I wish to say that Mr. E. R. Root is right when he 

 says, " You can't get over 50 percent of the wax until you use a first- 

 class press for your work." And I want to say when you get a press, 

 buy a German. They are neater, can be used on a kitchen stove, make 

 a fine honey-press and excellent uncapping can, and will be the most 

 satisfactory in the end. I will trade my home-made outfit for one it I 

 ever get a chance. Perry Orton. 



New York, Aug. 9, 1905. 



I am well pleased with the German Wax-Press. Felt that in one 

 day's work it had more than earned its cost. W. J. Oates. 



California. 



I was inclined to believe at first that the German Wax-Press was a 

 failure, but after a thorough trial was well pleased. Secured 'M 

 pounds more wax from one day's use of the machine than I would 

 have secured by the ordinary method of rendering. 



Illinois. B. Walker. 



Wax from old slumgum that had been worked over by another 

 party and declared to be free from wax, I got nearly 50 pounds from 

 only a little over 100 pounds of the stuff. E. T. Flanagan.

Cash Discount for Early Orders 



We can noc remember a year when we were not crowded with 

 orders through the spring months, and somewhat behind, some years 

 more than others. In order to divert some of this trade to the fall and 

 winter months, we have offered inducements in the way of an early- 

 order cash discount. This year we will be more liberal than ever be- 

 fore in the amount of discount allowed. For some months the price 

 of some of the materials used has been a little lower, and we have 

 stocked up heavily, and propose giving you the advantage of the 

 saving in price. The abundant farm crops throughout the country 

 are stimulating trade in almost all lines, and prices are already stiffen- 

 ing. The discounts which we propose to offer for early cash orders 

 are as follows : 



For cash orders before Oct. 1 10 percent. 



" " Nov. 1 9 



" " Dec. 1 8 " 



Jan. 1 r 



For cash orders before Feb. 1 6 percent. 



" " March 1 4 " 



" " April 1 2 " 



You will notice that, after January, the discount drops 2 percent 

 a month; and if we find that advancing prices of materials do not 

 warrant the larger discount, we reserve the right to reduce the amount 

 of discount at any time.- Your safest plan is, therefore, to order at once. 

 This discount is only for cash before the dates named, and is in- 

 tended to apply to hives, sections, frames, foundation, extractors, 

 smokers, shipping-oases, cartons, and other miscellaneous bee-keepers- 

 supplies. It will not apply on orders for the following articles exclu- 

 sively; but where these form no more than about 10 percent of the 

 whole orders, the discount may be taken from the entire bill : Tinned 

 wire, paint, Bingham smokers. Porter bee-escape, glass and tin honey- 

 packages, scales, bees and queens, bee books and papers, labels and 

 other printed matter: bushel boxes, seeds, and other specialties not 

 listed in our general catalog.
