WAX PROFITS ^ 



]y^ ANY bec-keepers allow old combs and scraps 

 of beeswax to collect, which, for lack of time 

 and proper utensils, are scattered or eaten up by 

 moth-worms. A big item would be 

 ^ added to the year's profits by the 

 timely rendering of. said wax by an 

 econominal process. We believe the press illus- 

 trated herewith fills a long-felt want in rendering 

 wax. 



B. Walker. Clyde, 111., says: 



"Was inclined to believe at firs't tha' 

 the German wax-press was a failure; 

 but after a thorough trial I was wel 

 pleased. I secured 30 pounds mor( 

 wax from one day'-s use of the machin( 

 than I would have secured by the ordi 

 nary method of rendering."

BEE=KEEPERS, 



Supply Dealers and Manufacturers as well are now 

 very busy. If you have deferred placing an order un- 

 til this time, it will tend to hasten the filling of-the same to see that it con- 

 tains nothing odd size, or irregular, and that you specify ORIGINAL pack- 

 ages. We put up hives and supers in lots of five each, frames and section- 

 boxes of 500 each; Weed New Process 

 Foundation in boxes of i, 2. 3, 5, 10 

 and 25 pounds; shipping-cases' in 

 crates of 50, glass in boxes of 50 sq. 

 feet, glass jars by the gross, etc. The 

 buying of Root's Goods in original 

 packages will prevent your being im- 

 posed upon by an unscr jprlous dealer 

 in the substitution of somethitig "just 

 as good." Your supplies will be de- 

 livered in good condition and you will 

 have the satisfaction of knowing "Ou 

 have the best. Look for these 

 brands.
