 their annual picnic at Forsyth Park,

 pep and makes it responu quickly to 

 the most delicate touch, giving as much 

 or as little smoke as is required. The 

 Big Smoke size, stove 4x10 inches, with 

 asbestos lined shield, permits the hold- 

 ing of the smoker between the knees 

 without danger of burning the trousers

 preciated by extensive operators.

 capping Knives 



Made of the finest quality steel for the 

 purpose that money can buy. These 

 knives of the proper thickness and qual- 

 ity have given the best of satisfaction, 

 as the old-timers will testify. For over 

 thirty years the men engaged in the 

 manufacture of these knives have been 

 at this work. The perfect grip cold 

 handle is one of the improvements. 



Buy Woodman Section 

 Fixer 



A combined section press and founda- 

 tion fastener of pressed seel construc- 

 tion It forms comb-honey sections and 

 puts in top and bottom starters all at 

 one handling. Top and bottom starters 

 insure combs attached to all four sides, 

 a requirement to grade fancy. By us- 

 ing this machine you always handle 

 large pieces of foundation. The diffi- 

 culty of handling the small bottom start- 

 ers is eliminated, which is not the case 

 with other machines. The section comes 

 away right side up, with the large 

 starter hanging down which is a de- 

 cided advantage i- rapid work, espe- 

 cially in hot weather.
