Your correspondent has had the
pleasure. by the kindness of the owners,
Messrs. Thomson, Moody and Isham, of
witnessing the operation of one of
Messrs. ID. 5. Given Il Co.'S machines
for the manufacture of honey-comb
foundation. The machine comes from
HoOperstown, ILL.,, and works perfectly.
The parties are heavy dealers in honey
and other bee appurtances and have long
felt the need of this machine. 1t differs
from other similar ones in that the dies
are fiat, instead of using rollers. which
it is claimed il much preferable. 1t
has simple yet powerful press, being
as | 200 to one. 1t is the intention of the
owners. in addition TO their own needs,
to keep a stock of foundation to sell to
all who may desire and also to manu-
facture it for all who desire to furnish
their own wax. Parties who have wax
to dispose of will find ready market
here, but it must be of the first quality,
as they design to work only this kind of
stock. Those who may purchase of
them may rely on getting No. article
at fair prices.
