THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



393 



Plant of Interstate Mfg. Co., Hudson, Wis. 



Experience — The presiding geuiiis of the above 

 factory is ]\Ir. W. H. Putnam; who began the manu- 

 facture of Bee Hives, Sections and Supplies, in a small 

 wa}', a dozen 3'ears ago, using power from his water 

 grist-mill. 



Room and Power — The business out-grew its 

 humble quarters, and, in 1897, a stock company was 

 formed, and the business moved to Hudson, Wis.; 

 where the $60,000 plant of a defunct furniture com- 

 pany was bought at a bargain, thus securing abun- 

 dant power, room and machiner}-. 



Cheap Lumber — Hudson is the land of saw 

 mills and cheap lumber, and the best quality of white 

 pine for hives, and the choicest of white, winter-sawn 

 basswood for sections, can be bought at very low prices. 

 Tlie Interstate Mfg. Co. also makes berry boxes and 

 crates and is thus able to utilize the dark lumber and 

 the waste. A dry-kiln insures a supply of thoroughly' 

 seasoned lumber. Send for price list.
