PatMt Wired Comb Fonndation 



has no sag in brood frames. 



TMd Flat Bottom Foaadatioa 



has no Fish-bone in Surplus Honey. 

 Being the cleanest is usually worked the 

 quickest of any foundation made. The talk 

 about wiring frames seems absurd. We furnish 

 a Wired Foundation that is Better, Cheaper 

 and not half the trouble to use that it is to 

 wire brood frames. 

 Circulars and samples free.

THE CRITERION. 



For everybody who is interested in anything 

 good, honest, and wholesome. 



A Magazine to file away and refer to, be- 

 cause: (1) Of its brilliant criticisms and re- 

 views of Art and Artists, The Drama, Music 

 and Literature. (2) It's strong special arti 

 cles on important national and historical 

 events, Passed, Present and Future. (3) It's 

 book reviews, the latest and most important 

 published, are independent and authoritative. 

 THIS IS TRUE 



Because its contributors are among those 

 whose names have a recognized position in the 

 field of letters. 



Handsome drawings and rare photographs 

 help to make the Criterion a most desirable 

 Magazine. It's poetry is of the highest type 

 that appears in Magazine literature. It's fic- 

 tion too intensely interesting and covers a wide 

 field, embracing all sorts and conditions of 

 life.

 Richard Burton, Univ. of Minn.
