COFFINBERItY'S 



Excelsior Honey Extractor. 



This Extactor takes any 

 size of frame smaller than 

 12x20. Larger sizes will be 

 made to order if required. 

 For extracting 4 frames 

 at one time, add $2.00 



It is made entirely of 

 metal, and is the best 

 Honey Extractor in the 

 market. It is light, but 

 has attachments for fas- 

 tening down to a plat- 

 form. It can be instantly 

 taken to pieces for clean- 

 ing, having no screws to 

 take out, nor heavy pieces 

 to lift. 



Some of its advantages 

 are as follows: The lower 

 end of the comb basket 

 shaft does not revolve in 

 the honey below, even 

 when 00 or 70 lbs. may be 

 there ! 



The Comb Basket having 

 vertical sides, insures the 

 extracting power alike for 

 top and bottom of frames. 



An over-motion and 

 strong gearing is essential 

 to both ease of operation 

 and effective work. 



The handles are strong and attached near 

 centre, for ease in carrying. 



The tin covers close the machine up tightly, keep- 

 ing it free from dust and dirt when not in use. 



It is provided with a small comb-holder for ex- 

 tracting pieces of comb or partly-filled sections. 



It has a strainer elevated some three inches above 

 the bottom of the extractor, and entirely covering 

 the canal leading to the honey-gate. This " strainer" 

 can be instantly removed, cleaned and replaced. 



The honey receptacle has capacity for 00 or 70 lbs 

 of honey, where it may be allowed to ripen before 

 drawing off, if desired. 



THE EXCELSIOR HONEY EXTRACTOR combines 



all the advantages of other Extractors, and is the 

 cheapest thoroughly practical machine ever yet made. 

 The Comb Basket of this Extractor is made to take 

 either two or three combs, and either will be fur- 

 nished at the same Price. JS15S.OO. crated and 

 delivered at railroad depot or express office.
