 Since we began saving the pieces iis above we have

Sl-;COND-HAND FOUNDATION-M I r .l,S. 



We ha\e the following second-haird foundation- 

 mills in Stock that some may r-ather- lane at the 

 price than a irew one. Of course, we'd rather sell 

 you a new machine than one of these, ;iird t liink, 

 also, that it would give better sat isf;ii-tion usually; 

 still, for- those who wish to make only for- their- own 

 use, or in limited quantities, one of these machines 

 will iirobably do you as well as a new one. We have 

 quite an a.ssor-tment to choose from, and the list will 

 be corrected as they are solfl. The ear-liest orders 

 will have the best choice. 



One old-style 10-inch, our make, with rounil cell, 

 for medium brood foundation; has been used \er-y 

 little, and is ;is good now as a new mill at the tini'i- 

 this was iiuule, although not to Ik; i-ompared with 

 our present make. A rrew mill of this size .sells for- 

 ^30.00. We offer this foi- $13.00. 



One 10-iucli, which answers to the same descriptioir 

 as above, but made later-, arrd is a little better 

 machine. Will sell for t I4.(KI. 



One ]3irieh lie.xagon;il cell, medium or heavy 

 brood mill of the original Washliui-n make, and in 

 excellent condition. It' wax is dipped the right, 

 thickness this will make excellent- found;ition. I be- 

 lieve it oi-igiriall.\ sold for- ^^511.00. We otter it now 

 form.OO. 



One 13-incli Dunham round-cell heavy-brood mill. 

 This was original l.\- used hy the Dadants, arrd will 

 make good foundation yet. We offer it for- -lilS. 00. 



One 13-incli Dunliam r-ound-cell hea\y-br-ood mill, 

 in excellent condiiioir. We took this fr-bnr E. France 

 & Son. in exchange for- a new mill to make lighter 

 foundation more feet to the iioiind. Their only ob- 

 .iecl ion was that it made foundation heavier than 

 they wished to use. Its condition is pi-.-ictically as 

 gootl as new, although it makes foundation about 4 

 feet to the pound uidess the sheets arc dip])ed thin 

 enough to make it lighter-. AVeotler this for- $:,'0.00. 

 which is two-thirds the )ir-ice of ji new inai-liine this 

 size. 



If any prefer we can submit .samples of foundation 

 from any of these machines before you buy. We 

 shall be pleased to .send samples fi-om new ma'i;Iiines 

 if you would rather have that kind.
