EXCELSIOR 



HONEY 

 EXTRACTOR, 



From $8.00 to $14.00.

No. 1.— For 2 Langstroth frames, 10x18 inches. . . $8 00

The Excelsior Honey Extractor combines 

 all the advantages of other Extractors, and is the 

 cheapest thoroughly practical machine ever yet made. 

 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 60 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. 



It has a small comb- 

 holder for extracting 

 pieces of comb or partly- 

 filled sections. 



Nos. 3, 4 and 5, have neat- 

 ly-fitting covers, movable 

 sliding sides to the bas- 

 kets, and movable strain- 

 ers covering the canal to the faucet, whereby the last 

 drop of honey can be drawn off without a particle of 

 sediment. 



-A. CHEAPER MACHISE 

 being called for, I have made one for the Langstroth 

 frame, and one to take the American frame, to sell at 

 $8.00. These have no covers or strainer, and are 

 much smaller than the $12.00 and $14.00 sizes, but for 

 the frames named are equal to the others for effective 

 work, and are the toest cheap extractor made.
