This is just like the Heddon case, except the parti- tions are omitted. Projecting tin strips are tacked on the bot- tom of the sides as well as ends. These strips on the ends help hold the end rows of sections, while those on the sides hold the X shaped tins, which in turn support the sections. As the vertical part of the x supports the separator, it should not be more than one-half inch high. As most of us use—must use—separators, this is probably one of the best section-honey Fig. Hilton T Super,—From A. I. Boot Co. cases for us, and so one of the best arrangements for securing comb hpney. Mr. Hilton (Fig. 114), of Michigan, does not like the movable X supports, and so he omits the projecting tin pieces, and tacks the x ti"s at the ends to the bottom of the side of the case. Mr. Heddon has a case (Fig. 93) which permits inversion, through the use of wide frames and thumb-screws. Still another method to support sections (Fig. 115) has many advo- cates. The case is like the one used with the x tins^ but has projecting tin supports tacked to the ends only. On these rest.
