ANY KICKS— KICK JOE 



^ Our foundation mill man "Joe" who has been with us for thirty-nine years re- 

 marked the other day that we showed him the complimentary letters on "Dadant's 

 Foundation" but never the "Kicks." 



^ Fortunately criticisms come to us so seldom that we were unable to comply 

 with his desire for adverse criticism of his and our product. 



^ Joe started work- 

 ing in the Dadant fac- 

 tory when the whole 

 process was by hand. 



^ Boards were dipped 

 in hot wax, the result- 

 ing sheets being piled 

 to cool, and eventual- 

 ly milled on hand 

 mills. 



fl Foundation trimm- 

 ing, papering, lumber 

 sawing, boxing, all 

 was done by hand. 



^ During Joe's time 

 enough Dadant's 

 foundation has been 

 made to fill two mil- 

 hon hives and 150 

 million sections, with 

 full sheets. 



^ The sheets if placed 

 end to end would 

 reach from New York 

 across the Atlantic, 

 through Europe and 

 Asia, thence across 

 the Pacific to San 

 Francisco. 



^ We invite letters of honest criticism on Dadant's Foundation. Joe wants them, 

 we want them, that we may if possible increase the value of our product to the 

 beekeeper and his bees. This follows our policy of continuous improvement of 

 Dadant's Foundation. 



^ Comparison of Dadant's Foundation with others from the mill or under test 

 with the hive invited.
