Shoulders of Strength 



:tn: 



Dadant's 



Makes non-sag all-vforker comb, WIRED. Cuts out cost and labor of hand wiring. 



Quickly accepted by bees without reservations. NON-SAG, the finishsd comb a dslight to the eye. 



Wired Foundation 



NOTE THE CRIMPS in the wires. These are permanent, even under weight, and they re- 

 inforce tlie ciin:li with aiigli^s of .sup])ort radiating in all directions. 



THIS IS AN ENTIRELY NEW IDEA in foundation making. The wire, woven into the wax 

 by machinery, makes a rigid yet flexible sheet, producing a straight, desirable, non-sag com)). 



DON'T BE DECEIVED by evidence from previous experiments with vertical wiring. There is 

 no precedent for this new msans of support, affording radiating shoulders of strength through- 

 out the comb. 



TESTED BY TIME AND USE. D.idant's Wired Foundation is not an experiment of a few 

 months' time, but is a carefully evolved specialty of a lifetime of foundation specialists. It has 

 also been thoroughly tested for several years in large apiaries in all parts of the United States. 

 DADANT'S WIRED FOUNDATION may be used in new-style split bottom-bar frames or in 

 the old-styie one-piece bottom-bar frames with equal satisfaction. It is also adaptable to any 

 size ;ind style of brood or extracting frame. 



COSTS NO MORE. Since Dadant's Wired Foundation cuts out the cost and labor of wiring, 

 its extra price of three cents per pound above the catalog prices of old-style foundation is thus 

 more than returned to the beekeeper. 



ASK FOR SAMPLES. A small mailing sample sent free on request. Special Offer: A sample
