The Rauchfuss Combined Section-Press 

 And Foundation-Fastener 



Price, complete with Lamp, 

 $5.00. 



Has the following advantages: 



1. Sections are handled but once in going 

 from the crate to the snper. 



2. Its work is more accurate and rapitl than 

 that of any other machine on the market. 



3. Because of its great capacity, sections need 

 not be put up until wanted. 



4 An inexpe ienced person or a child can do 

 satisfactory work, 



5 The woik is done in a sitting: position. 



6. Any temperature at which foundation can 

 be handled is suitable for operalinjr, and a mod- 

 erate temperature is tven better than a high one, 

 for it is easier to handle foundiition with some 

 backbone to it. 



7. It takes an_y width of the 45^x45^ inch sec- 

 tions. An adjustable guide-block brings the 

 f undalion exaci ly to t e center. 



8. It ran be fastened to any bench or table. 

 5 heing of metal it resists moisture and with 



fair usage will lasi a liietime. 



10. It takes starters, fu 1 sheets, or both; or 

 any inierniediale size of sheets 



II It saves foundation by melting only the 

 lea t possible amount fn)ni the edge. 



12. The wax nT-lted trwin the edge of the foun- 

 dation is highly heattd and thoroughly grips the 

 fibers of the wot>d. so that rather than separate 

 from the sectiors the foundation itself will tear. 



13. So small an . m< unt of wax is melted that 

 it cools instantly and cau.ses no delay. 



14. For the same season the louiidation when 

 fastened appears to be only resting on the wood, 

 giving the finished honey a superior appearance 

 when cut from the sectit n. 



These advantages enables it to pay for itself in 

 one season, even in a small apiary. 



See what some of the men say who have used 

 the machine: — 



IvONGMONT, Colo , Jan. 29. igo2. 



In putting together sections I use a Kauchfuss. 

 combined machine. If there is any better I have 

 not seen it The sectioi s go right'from the crate 

 to the super with one operation. My wife i- the 

 champion a hisiartofthe business; her aver- 

 age day's work, of eight hours, being too supers.

Rauchfus Bros. I^'ttleton, Colo. 



I have used your Combined Section Pre.ss and Foundation Fastener for six 3'ears and would 

 not sell the same for $25 if I could not get another out , as it is in my estimation the only per- 

 fect machine of this kind on the market, and will gladly recommend it to any bee-keeper.
