C The invention has created a world- wic^e interest. Its value will be the more appreciated by studying the fol- lowing original literature:—"The British Bee Journal," November 13; "Bee Craft," December; and "The Bee World," September, October, and November, 1919. RETAIL PRICES. <I, The metal yOUndatiOn ("worker" type) can now be produced in any size required, whether for the brood chamber or the super, , for the British Standard Frame (14 in. X SYz in.). Deep Standard (14 in. x 12 in.), Simmins' (16 in. x 10 in.), Lang- stroth (17% in. x 9]/$ in.), etc., and for their corresponding super frames. Despite the heavy cost of machinery, metal, etc., it is offered at a price well within the pur- chasing power oj the average All orders, whether large or small, receive prompt attention, and are executed in strict rotation, and in good time for the season. We have further decided—for the benefit of bee-keepers who are not yet in a position to place their orders—on taking the risk of a liberal margin of production to meet unavoidably
