$5.00 Reward. 



To the person who will secure the greatest 

 number of starters in sections In fifteen 

 minutes, using one of my new foundation 

 fasteners, I will pay a reward of $5.00. 



This reward is offered to establish a 

 record. I have had many flattering reports, 

 both as to the quality of the work done 

 and the rapidity witli which the machine 

 can be operated. But I believe a better 

 record can be made. 



To anyone who is desirous of knowing 

 the merits of this device a full description 

 will be forwarded with conditions governing 

 the contest. The contest closes the first of 

 October, 1807.

DOW'S IMPROVED COMBINATION 

 FRAME LIFTER and HIVE OPENER 



PATENT APPLIED FOR 



Just what every bee-keeper needs. Neat, strong, and handy. Can be 

 carried in the pocket easily. Frames can be handled more easily and quickly 

 with one hand by using them than with both hands without them. The jaws 

 are made so that they slip down between the frames and grasp them firmly, 

 raising them without slipping or jarring. If your dealer does not have them, 

 send $1.25 by P. O. order and I will mail you one anywhere in U. S. A., 

 postpaid. Liberal terms to dealers. Address
