 sections, which were very convenient 

 and handy to manipulate. 



J. Vanbervort. Foundation mills 

 for the manufacture of comb founda- 

 tion, which were fine specimens of me- 

 chanical genius, especially the one 

 with six inch rolls ; and we believe the 

 only machine adapted to the manufac- 

 ture of foundation with natural base 



running twelve square feet to the 

 pound.

 bee smoker.

 in sections for surplus honey.

 features which he calls the "Ideal"
