. The Bee-keepers' review. Bee culture. FACTOKV OF AUG. WEISS, HORTONVILLE, WIS. A Superior Process and low Prices. No one in this country makes comb foundation superior to that turned out by Aug. Weiss, Hortonville, Wisconsin— possibly, his foundation has no equal. In the first place, he is a most excUent mechanic, capable of doing the finest and most perfect work, and considerably giv- en to experimenting. In the next place, he is a practical bee-keeper, and knows, or can find out, by actual experience, ex- actly what is suited to the needs of the bees. When such a man starts in to make foundation, something is likely to hapjxm. In this case a new and superior process of sheeting the wax was develop- ed, something radicallv different from any method previously employed, and the superior quality of his foundation is largely due to this })eculiar method of sheeting. Besides this, the rollers of his foundation mills are larger than those usually employed, thus giving a larger curve to the working surface—the work more nearly approaching that done by a press. One more point: Mr. Weiss has not been making foundation many years, and, naturally, wishing to build up a larger business, he is using one of the strongest possible incentives for drawing trade, that of low prices—so low as to bring remonstrances from some of his competitors. Although Mr. Weiss makes a specialty of foundation, he has power and wood- working machinery, and makes hives, supers, shipping-cases, etc., and carries a full line of supplies. If in need of sup- plies, you will do well to send for his price list—especially so if you are in need of foundation.—Editor A wee Glirai)se of the Weiss Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original National Bee-keepers' Association.
