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: 



Genti emen —I should like to say a few words in favor of the ball-bearing Root Automatic Extractor, as I believe it is as near perfec- 

 tion as itcan be. This machine runs so easily that a few turns to get it ud to speed isall thatis necessary; and the men while using 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 apiary can afford to be without one of these machines. ... , . , .. c . ,1 . ,u u j 



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



interests.

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, f 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 co_nsider^t wie of ^the best specuJaUons I made 

 in connection with the apiary.

I received the extractor I ordered of you some time ago. It arrived in good shape. I set it up and extracted 143 quarts of honey, 

 sold it at 33 cents a quart. The extractor is just fine-does the work completely. i- D. KING. Athens. Ohio. Aug. 16, 1Q12.
