If the 



Is mentioned when answering 

 an advertisement in its columns 

 a favor is conferred upon botn 

 the publishei and the advertis- 

 er. It helps the former by rais- 

 ing his journal in the estima 

 tion of the advertiser: and it en- 

 ables the latter to decide as to 

 which advertising mediums are 

 most profitable. If you would 

 help the Review, be sure and 

 say " I saw your advertisement 

 in the Review," when writing 

 to advertisers.

Is apparent in combhoney when 

 the Van Deusen, flat - bottom 

 foundation is used. This style 

 of foundation allows the making 

 of a more uniform article, hav- 

 ing a z'ery thin base, with the 

 surplus wax in the side - walls, 

 where it can be utilized by the 

 bees. Then the bees, in chang- 

 ing the base of the cells to the 

 natural shape, work over the 

 wax to a certain extent; and the 

 result is a comb that can scarcely 

 be distinguished from that built 

 wholly by the bees. Being so 

 thin, one pound will fill a large 

 number of sections. 



All the Trouble of wiring 

 brood frames can be avoided by 

 using the Van Deusen wired. 



Send for circular; price list, 

 and samples of foundation.
