SHEETED BY A NEW PROCESS.) 



In my Western trip last summer I visited no place that was sweet- 

 er, cleaner, or more wholesome, than the foundation factory Gus. 

 Dittnier, at Augusta, Wis. The manufacture of foundation is a spe- 

 cialty to which Mr. Dittnier personally devotes his whole time. All 

 of his wax is purified most thoroughl3-, yet no chemials are employed. 

 At the time of my visit he was experimenting with a new process for 

 sheeting wax. It was not by dipping, neither was it similar to the 

 Weed-process, but' upon a plan the novelty of which is equaled only 

 by its simplicity. In a letter recently received, Mr. Dittmer says 

 that he now has this process in active operation, and that it is a per- 

 fect success — producing a clear, transparent, pliable foundation en- 

 tirely free from the granulation that accompanies the dipping-plan. 

 Not only is the foundation superior, but he is now able to accomplish 

 nearly twice as much with the same amount of labor. Samples of 

 this foundation and prices sent upon application. Besides making 

 foundation, Mr. Dittmer carries a full line of supplies; and, from all 

 I have seen, I am certain he is an honest man, and does all in his pow- 

 er to treat his customers fairly and to please them. — Editor Review.
