AIRCO FOUNDATION WHY? 



We are now beginning to get the beekeeper's own verdict on Airco Foundation, the new Root- 

 Weed process, announcement of which we made a year ago. 



We then told the beekepers that the new process had to do with both the refining of the 

 wax and the milling of the wax sheets. We said that we believed that we had made one of the 

 greatest of all improvements in the manufacture of comb foundation. 





Today, with reports coming in from beekeepers who have now used this new foundation, we 

 are sure that all the claims we have made for the Airco are fully proved. Let's have some of 

 the testimony: 



BEES DRAW IT OUT SOONER 



"The bees accept it quickly; draw it out with less labor, and sooner. 

 I have used over 200 pounds of Airco the past season." 



Marietta, N. Y. J G. Burtis. 



SIMPLY PERFECTION 



"This foundation may be called the crown of all betterments in 

 modern beekeeping. It is simply perfection. The fact is that we 

 need nothing better, and I am convinced that it cannot be surpassed." 



Sabanna, Brazil. Victor Jungers. 



We have many such commendations for Airco Foundation. It is only praise that comes from 

 the beekeepers, and so it is that we believe it to be the best comb foundation that has ever been 

 nnade. 



WHY IT'S BEST 



Airco Foundation is superior in these points: It is all made of high-grade wax and refined 

 without the use of any acids or other injurious chemicals. By this new refining process, the wax 

 retains its aroma, and^the impurities are more perfectly eliminated than by any other process 

 known. Most important of all, the new process of milling this superior wax gives a comb foun- 

 dation nearer like nature's than any other made. The cell base is thinner and the walls deeper, 

 for which reason the bees accept it sooner and draw it out more quickly than they do the old- 

 process foundation. 



We invite every beekeeper in America to make his own test of Airco Foundation this year. We 

 shall be willing to abide entirely by the verdict to be rendered by the users of this far superior 

 new foundation.
