AIRCO MILLS 

 TURNING 



And we are making that 

 famous product, the New 

 Process Root-Weed Foun- 

 dation on our own machines, 

 here at Council Bluffs. Let 

 us send you a sample, for 

 we believe it is absolutely 

 the last word in foundation. 

 And you'll want to give it 

 a trial in your own apiaries. 

 We are willing to abide en- 

 tirely, the results of sever- 

 est test. 



We must have, of course, 

 large amounts of beeswax 

 to keep up with the de- 

 mand for Airco. We will 

 be glad to quote on all you 

 hold, and we believe that 

 our schedule of price, credit, 

 or of working wax into 

 foundation will interest you. 

 And our quotation on your 

 total foundation needs for 

 1921 will interest you also.

 bring our queens up to a higher standard, one that is 

 still surpassed by none, but superior to many.
