One Story Dovetailed Rive with 
Double Telescope Cover 
FOR 414x4^x1% BEEWAY SECTIONS 
This is the same as is shown with the 1% Story 
Hive and is the style most commonly used. We 
always furnish this style unless one of the other 
styles are specified. 
It takes the regular 4»4x414xl% beeway sec- 
tions, slotted section holders, slotted sawed sepa- 
rators, and a follower and springs for squeezing 
the sections tight. The eight-frame size holds 
twenty-four sections, and the ten-frame twenty- 
eight sections. 
NO. 2 OR PLAIN SUPER 
FOR 414 x 4 / 4 x 1^2 PLAIN SECTIONS 
This super is preferred by some bee-keepers 
who elaim that they get more even and better 
filled sections. It is the same size as the No. 1. 
and holds the same number of sections. The dif- 
ference is in the inside furniture, being equipped 
with the fence style separator and plain section 
holders. These section holders take the plain or 
no bee-way sections, the cleats on the fences tak- 
ing the place of bee-ways. 
The eight-frame size is equipped with six sec- 
tion holders, seven fences and springs, and will 
hold twenty-four sections. The ten-frame size is 
equipped with seven section holders, eight fence 
separators, springs and follower, and will hold
