I.KAN'INlJS IN HEKCLILTUKK. 



iii;es\v.ax. 

 Those liiivintr Ik'Oswjix to dispose of will do well 

 to ship at oiii'o. For any thinj.' wo now see we will 

 deolint' tlu' price at loasi :.' cts. ii pouiici very soon. 

 The seti<in fi.r its liea\y eoiisumption in eoinb 

 foundation is very nearly over: and it has been the 

 experience of past vcars lor prices t.o rule lower 

 durinptlie late summer and fall. We are now paying' 

 ^6 cts. cash, ~'7 in trade, delivered here; Imt we can 

 not itromise this price lon^'cr than the next two 

 weeks. 11' j-ou liavo onoiig-h for a shipment, send it 

 alonjr at t)rice without wtititijr to accumulate more. 



COMB FOUNDATION OUTPUT. 



Our output of comb loundation so far this year 

 is away in advance of any year so for in our history. 

 It is already more than double wliat we made in a 

 whole year two and three .\ear8 ag-o. It is simply 

 pheiK^menal, the demand we have had; and the sat- 

 isfaction it jrives is daily attested by kind words of 

 praise and admiration which we receive iii almost 

 every mall. Truly, if it were not for the inventions 

 of >ir. Weed, and the consequent improved ma- 

 cliinery for turning- out at a very rapid rate this 

 improved foundation, our capacity would not have 

 been e(iual to such an increased demand, nor would 

 the demand have increased so much except for the 

 superior qualities of the Weed New Process founda- 

 tion. 



SECTION BOXES. 



Our output of section boxes is also far in advance 

 of any previous year in our history. We have made, 

 during: the three months of April, May, and June, 

 more sections than we turned out during: a whole 

 year three and four years ago. Notwithstanding: 

 the fact tliat some manufacturers have ottered these 

 goods at lower prices, we have not been able to 

 make sections as fast as they were required, and 

 have called on two other factories to help us out to 

 the extent of half a million. Lately we have not 

 been able to supply the No. 2 grade in the quanti- 

 ties that they have been called for; and some who 

 order No. 2 will be compelled to take No. 1 instead. 



If any of our readers can use 414x414, 7-to-foot, we 

 have some thirty or forty thousand of this size in 

 stock which we can ship promptly. We have also a 

 surplus of ikxikxlVi, both 2 and 4 openings. 



DRAWN FOUNDATION. 



Finally we have our dies completed }i, and in op- 

 eration, making drawn foundation. We find that 

 our hydraulic machinery for operating- the dies is 

 inadequate to the pressure for using the dies full 

 size, and we are making pieces 4x4, just right to fill 

 a section; and until we get more powerful machin- 

 ery we are not prepared to furnish it larger nor in 

 very large quantities, but such as we can furnish 

 will be mucli superior to sam|)ies from the former 

 dies— lighter and more delicate. It is already too 

 late to test it in the production of early lioney; but 

 the tests on a late honey crop, which generalli* 

 comes in more tlowly, will be more severe. 



We ofler the drawn foundation in Vi-lb. packages 

 at 75 cts. with otlier goods, ur 90 cts. prepaid; three 

 pieces, 4x4, to fill a section, for 10 cts.; by mail, J2 

 cts.; 24 pieces. .oO cts.; by mail. fiO cts.; 10 pieces, 25 

 cts.; by mail, 30 cts. If you have pre.iudices or pre- 

 conceived notions in regard to this drawn founda- 

 tion, send for a sample from the last dies and see it 

 and test it for yourself, and then you will be able to 

 speak intelligently in regard to it. It is not too late 

 to test it this season in very many localities.
