ROOT'S POWER HONEY-EXTRACTORS 



Our new catalog is full of information about these labor-saving machines. With the difficulty of getting competent help, 

 the power extractors are being sold largely in this and foreign countries, and the present demand is far greater than ever 

 before. Read what a California producer says in a letter to a disinterested party, which we were permitted to publish: 



Gentlemen —I should like to say a few words in favor of the bali-beaririB Root Automatic Kxtractor. as I believe it is as nuar perfec- 

 tion as it can be This machine runs so easily that a few turns to get it uo to speed is all that is necessary, and the men. while usini; the 

 No. 17. which I formerly had. could average only looo lbs. per day. while with this machine they can average 2000 lbs. with but one additional 

 man. No aniary can afford to be without one of these machines. 



I feel like congratulating The A. I. Root Co. for making an invention that is such a satisfaction, financially to the honey-producers' 

 interests. B. B. HOGABOOM. Elk Grove, Calif 



—HERE ARE A FEW MORE— 



A word about the power extractor I purchased from you through H. L, Jones, of Goodna. I found it to work very satisfactorily, and it 

 will do all it is claimed to do and more. I use the gasoline engine for several purposes besides driving the eight-frame extractor, such as 

 driving the washing machine for the lady of the house, and corn cracking and grinding. I consider it one of the best speculations I made 

 in connection with the apiary. F. C. GOLDER, Pittsworth. Queensland. 



Yours of the itith, also the brakeband for power-extractor, came to hand. Thanks for sending it so promptly. This is my second 

 season with the power extractor. I would not like to be without it now. even if I had only fifty colonies,

I received the extractor I ordered of you some time ago. It arrived in good shape. I set it up and extracted 14? quarts of honey, 

 it at H cents a quart. The extractor is just fine— does the work completely. F. D. KI.VG, Athens. Ohio, Aug. 1.6. iqi:. 



The engine I got of you this spring has done fine- We ran it all fall, and never had anv trouble at all.
