I Airco Foundation— Why? | 



I We are now bej^inning to get the beekeepers' own viTdiot on Airco Foundation, | 



1 the new Eoot-Weed jitoeess, announcement of which we niavle a year ago and more. | 



I We then told the beekeepers that the new process had to df with both the refining | 



I of the wax and the milling of the wax sheets. We said that we believed that we had | 



I made one of the greatest of all improvements in the manufacturo of comb foundation. | 



Thin Super. 



Light Brood. 



Medium Brood. 



i Today, with reports coining in from beekeepers who have now used this new 



I foundation, we are sure that all the claims we have made for Airco are fully proved 

 i Let 's have some of the testimony : 



Bees Draw It Out Sooner. 



"The bees accept it quickly; draw it out with less 

 hibor and sooner. I have used over 200 pounds of 

 -Virco the past season" 



Marietta, N. Y. J. G. Burtis. 



Simply Perfection. 



"This foundation may lie called the crown of all 

 betterments in modern bepkeeping. It is simply per 

 fection. The fact is that '>'e need nothinir better, and 

 I am convinced that it cannot be surpassed." 



Sabanna, Brazil. Victor Jungers. 



Far Superior to Any Others. 



"Airco Foundai'on is far ^ iperior to any other 

 foundation that I li.ive ever trit 1. The bees accept it 

 at once, and draw it o'lt into fine worker comb." 



Lake Geneva, Wi.s. C. H. Gebhardt. 



We have many such commendations foi Airco Foundation. It is only praise that 

 comes from the beekeepers, and so it is that we believe it to be the best comb founda- 

 tion that has ever been made. 



Why It's Best 



Airco Foundation is superior in these points: It is all made of high-grade wax, 

 refined without the use of any acids or other injurious chemJcals. By tliis new re- 

 fining i^rocess, the wax retains its aroma, and the impurities Jire more perfectly elimi- 

 iinted than by any other process known. Most important of all, the new process of 

 milling this superior wax gives a comb foundation nearer like nature's than any other 

 made. The cell base is thinner and the walls deeper, for which reason the bees accept 

 it sooner and draw it out more quickly than they do the old-process foundation. 



We invite every beekeeper in America to make his. own test of Airco Foundation 

 this year. We shall be willing to abide entirely by the verdict to be rendered by 

 users of this far superior new foundation.
