Don't Take Our Word 



For the claims we make in regard to DADANT's FOUNDATION. Ask the bee- 

 keepers who have tried it side by side with other makes and who KNOW its 

 value by the results.

Gentlemen: Yours is certainly the best foundation by far, and if 

 there is an honest advertisement in the American Bee Journal, it is yours 

 on the 401st page of the December issue, as I found my bees to be the 

 same as A. N. Norton's, of Nciv Mexico. I used foundation from 



, and from , and yours all last summer, and the bees 



drew out yours and worked more quickly on it than on either of the 

 other two brands. The only difference that I could see was that there 

 icas a little difference in color. There must be something in it that 

 the bees can tell better than we can. 



Yours truly, 



ELMER KOMMER.

Gentlemen: At what price will you furnish me 1,000 pounds of 

 Medium Brood Foundation, in sheets to fit the Hoffman frames, 

 packed in cartons and also packed 25 pounds in a box? 



One of the reasons I have for asking the price in the above para- 

 graph is that I have used a great deal of your foundation, as well as 

 that of other manufacturers, and the bees certainly work on yours 

 quicker than on others, and possibly I might prefer to sell my beeswax 

 to you, or to others and buy your product, even if at some extra expense. 

 I have about 40,000 draivn-out combs from foundation sheets and have 

 accumulated quite a bit of information regarding the drawing out of 

 full sheets of Comb Foundation, etc. An early reply is requested. 

 Yours very truly, 



ELTON WARNER. 



Asheville, N. C, Dec. 27, 1918. 



Mr. Warner is a very extensive beekeeper, having large apiaries on the island 

 of Porto Rico. Certainly in drawing out 40,000 combs one would have a fine 

 opportunity to note any preference of the bees for a certain brand of foundation. 



These testimonials and many others come to us unsolicited. They 

 prove to us that Dadant's Foundation deserves the prestige that it 

 enjoys. Insist on DADANT's FOUNDATION. If you cannot get it of 

 vour dealer, then order of us.
