113,756 POUNDS OF 

 COMB FOUNDATION 



On the date this is written, Jan. 2, 1920, our company 

 has a total in orders for the New Eoot-Weed Comb Foun- 

 dation of 113,756 lbs. That is a big lot of comb founda- 

 tion. It will fill six big freight cars full. We never before 

 have had at this season so many and so large orders for 

 comb foundation as we have today. 



WHY are the beekeepers from all over the world 

 sending orders for comb foundation in these amounts to 

 this company? The answer can be given in one word — 



CONFIDENCE 



When we recently announced a new Eoot-Weed Comb 

 Foundation, that we believed would prove to be one of 

 the greatest improvements ever made in comb-foundation 

 manufacture, the beekeepers of America believed us. 

 They took some account of our 50 years in the manufac- 

 ture of beekeepers ' supplies and of our long record in ever 

 trying to improve the beekeepers ' appliances and utensils. 

 We appreciate this renewed evidence of their confidence 

 in receiving as they have our promise to give them a better 

 comb foundation. 



OUR PROMISE 



The new process, we told beekeepers, had to do with 

 both the refining of the wax and the milling of the wax 

 sheets. We promised that this new comb foundation 

 would be a product nearer to that of nature's own than 

 any other manufactured foundation. We today re-affirm 

 that promise. 



By the new refining process, we are today getting the 

 best wax we have ever secured, with a true waxy aroma 

 that is lacking in all wax refined by the acid processes. 



OUR THANKS 



At the head of this page, in large type, we have plac- 

 ed the figures that beekeepers have piled up for our New 

 Boot-Weed Comb Foundation. Those figures spell the Con- 

 fidence of the beekeepers of America in the promises and 

 the products of this company. At the beginning of an- 

 other year, we wish to thank our great host of beekeeper 

 friends for this confidence.
