Home Wax Rendering- 

 Does It Pay? 



More and more we are becoming a nation of specialists. In former 

 times, for various reasons, it was advisable to spin cloth at home, to 

 make clothes, to grind flour, etc. 



Yet it is seldom that such operations are undertaken now by the in- 

 dividual family. It does not pay. The time spent if valued at any- 

 thing, would more than pay for the finished product. 



Not only are you saving time, but also beeswax as a battery of high 

 pressure steam presses under the supervision of a specialist can get 

 more wax out of the same amount of combs than can the individual 

 beekeeper with a makeshift press on a kitchen range. 



Dear Sirs: 



"Your bill for rendering beeswax, enclosing check for $21.65, 

 to pay for wax retained by you was received yesterday. I am 

 very much pleased with the result of my sending old combs to 

 you. The quantity of wax secured is greater than I expected 

 and the exceeding promptness with which the matter was at- 

 tended to was very gratifying. If I have combs of the same 

 kind to be rendered again I shall certainly send them to you."
