TESTIIVIOIVIALS. 



" I have some of your hives in use, and I find they give 

 more satisfaction than any other hive in the marljet. It all 

 goes well I will be ordering more of them before long." 



Cape Colony, South Africa. R. .J. King. 



The bee-flxtures that I ordered of you came to hand in 

 good order, and are the finest work I ever saw. Every 

 thing went together like the leaves of a book. The supers 

 fit my Quinby hives perfectly, and are sure to give better 

 satisfaction, although costing a little more ihan what I 

 could have got them for from your agent in Portland, Oreg, 

 Thanks for your promptness in filling my order for odd 

 sizes. H. A. March. 



Fidalgo, Wash. 



"I have been using the fence separator, and find them 

 much superior to solid goods. The 4.50 shallow hives you 

 made for me are giving good satisfaction." 



Vigo, Tex. J.E.Chambers. 



I have just now unpacked and e.xamined the goods sent 

 by you, and am greatly pleased with the lot. 



Scottsville, Ariz. W. H. Gill. 



These hives have proven very satisfactory, and I now 

 wish 25 more of the same kind. 



Very truly yours, 

 Tecumseh, Mich. P. W. A. Fitsimmons. 



While writing you this, I must say the hives I ordered 

 of you were first-class in every particular, and not one mis- 

 lake. F. L. Powers.

Dear Sirs: — The shipment of hives and bee-supplies, 

 which you sent me, arrived in excellent condition, and every 

 one who has seen them, is delighted with the accuracy and 

 precision of the workmanship of every detail, both of the 

 goods and the manner in which the order was executed. 

 Yours very truly. 



Cape Colony. Frederic T. Bioletti. 



" People are beginning to change their bees to the Root 

 hive. My trade being so much better this season than pre- 

 vious years." Yours for service, 



Pennville, Ind. Alfred Grissoii. 



The a. I. Root Company, Medina, Ohio. 



Oenlhrnen: — I am well pleased with your prompt way 

 of doing business. The goods are just simply nice. Many 

 thanks. Yours truly, 



John D. A. Fisher. 



The goods ordered have arrived, and are very fine, giv- 

 ing entire satisfaction, as is invariably the rule when order- 

 ing from you. Allow me to thank you for your promptness 

 which I appreciate more this time than usual, as I needed 

 the goods very much. I can get goods from your factory 

 in about the same time that it talies to receive a reply from 

 some parties at no greater distance. W. A. Klock. 



Herkimer, N. Y. 



Your chaff hive, the last one, is the thing. I had them 

 out with no protection, not a fence or tree, and the north 

 wind howling around them with mercury at 43 degrees be- 

 low, and that wide entrance all open. I did not expect 

 them to come through. It seemed that enough arctic cold 

 would come in the entrance to freeze brass bees; but these 

 came out strong in spring. S. J. Hakmeling.
