and cheap, for the manutacture and sale of hives on 
liberal terms. We Already have several in successful 
operation, yet we desire a factory in every three or four 
counties, throughout the land, so that all orders sent us 
can be filled from factories so near the purchaser, that 
they may come and receive them, or make the expense 
of shipping but trifling, and thus greatly aid in the 
general introduction of our improvements in the most 
distant localities. We pay a price equal to hand labor, 
for the purpose of increasing the number of factories ; 
yet more than half the work can be done with machi- 
nery. The lumber may be dressed with a planer and 
cut up with a small circular saw. No morticing or 
matching is required to make our ornamental hives, 
and a good hand will cut up lumber for one hundred 
and more per week, or nail together one-third that 
number ready for painting. Any seasoned lumber will 
do for hives, and boards of almost any width will cut 
up for the small parts of the hive. 
The attractive appearance of this hive, and the sim- 
plicity of its construction, combined with the many 
advantages over others, has caused a general demand 
for them, and the perfect and permanent satisfaction 
given wherever used, has made them the standard hives 
of many of our best apiaries. They are universally 
used in Germany, and to a large extent in other coun- 
tries.
