What Extractor to Buy 



What should you know very positively about an ex- 

 tractor l)efore liaying: one .' 



You should know, first of all. that it is strong, rugged. 

 Imill on right mechanifal principles, and so will not fail 

 you in the busy rush of the extracting season. 



You should know that hack of the extractor that you 

 buy stands the gUisrantee of a niaiuifact\irer who knows 

 the problems of extracting and has thoroughly worked 

 them out by years of test and exi)erience. 



You should know that the manufacturer of whom you 

 buy will be able to give you lasting service, that is to 

 say, furnish you parts for the extractor you l)uy today 

 even ten or twenty-five years from today, and do it by the 

 earliest express or mail. 



Y'ou should know that the extractor you buy has the 

 fewest complications possible, and is the easiest to operate. 



You should know that the extractor you choose has 

 stood the test of years and is not an experiment that may 

 soon go to the extractor cemetery where so many ''new" 

 extractor hopes have gone. 



Our Proposition to You. 



We invite the beekeeper to put any one of our ex- 

 tractors to the severest test for strength of construction. 

 Put ours alongside of any other extractor of like capacity, 

 speed both up to the liighest number of revolutions possi- 

 ble, and .iudge for yourself as to strength and ruggedness. 

 Our warrant for quality and correct construction is 

 this: Many of the extractors we made and sold 2.5 or 

 30 years ago are still in oijeration and doing excellent work. We are nuiking even sturdier, 

 longer-lasting extractors today — for we know how. 



Our warrant for prompt service today and ten years from today is this: We are furnishing 

 extractor parts for models made 25 years ago and furnishing such parts by the first outgoing ex- 

 press o-r mail. What we have done in the X'ast. Ave shall do in the future. If you buy an extractor 

 of us today, and five or ten or twenty-five years from today want a part for it, our factory will 

 furnish it by earliest return mail or exjiress — .ju-i ;i- \\ >■ li,i\c ilnn,. for years. Y'oii can't get 

 that service except from the long-established man 

 ufarturers.
