Root's Goods in Chicago 



sooo: 



Last April we moved to this location. We were 

 unable then to arrange our stock as we desired as the 

 busy season was upon us. April, 1910, finds us in bet- 

 ter shape than we have ever been since the opening of 

 this office. 



Our stock is now conveniently arranged, hence 

 no confusion in filling orders. We now have on dis- 

 play in our show-room a complete line of our sup- 

 plies. Call and see them. From this date we will 

 have cars from the factory about every 10 davs. 



Have you received our catalog for 1910? If not, 

 we want you to have it. A postal card request will 

 bring one. 



Gleanings in Bee-Culture 



If you have not seen a late copy of our paper, 

 which is issued twice each month, you can't tell from 

 a brief description how much valuable information 

 each issue of it contains. Each issue is fully illus- 

 trated Our writers are the very best. A trial sub- 

 scription of six months (12 different copies) will cost 

 you only 25 cents. 



Alexander's Writings 



Mr. Alexander was one of the largest, if not the 

 largest, bee-keeper in the United States, and what he 

 has told of his methods must necessarily be of inter- 

 est to large bee-keepers. He kept bees for over 40 

 years, and produced honey by the carload. His writ- 

 ings are practical, and what he has done others may 

 do if they care to follow his teachings. Here is what 

 a prominent bee-keeper says of his book: 



"Alexander's Writings are the best thing I ever read: 

 pra ctical, enthusiastic, sympathetic, encouraging. I predict 

 an enormous sale of the book. Why not get out an edition 

 wi th cloth cover? It's worth while. Wish you could print 

 more such books." WM. BAYLEY. 



43 N. Brighton Ave., East Orange. N. J. 



This Book is Sold only in combination with Gleanings 



From now until January 1, 1911, we offer one copy 

 of the Alexander book with every yearly subscription 



to GLEANINGS, new or renewal. You get BOTH 

 for subscription rate alone, which is only $1.00.

 per year extra. 



Power Extractors 



We believe all of our extractors are about as near 

 perfect as it is possible to make them. For large api- 

 aries one of our power machines is a great advantage. 

 A circular of these will be sent upon request. 



Read what a large producer says : 



Lang. Calif., Sept. 26. igoo. 

 den/Umiv—Ov/ingto the fact that power extractors are 

 not in general use at the present time, it may be of interest 

 to you to know that I used a Gilson engine " i H. P.." together 

 with the latest model of the 6-frame automatic extractors. 

 " Roots." for this season's extracting. I was surprised and 

 delighted with the work done. In extracting our heavy white- 

 sage honey it not only cleans out the combs much cleaner 

 than can be done by hand-power, but does it at a minimum of 

 of expense. The cost of gasoline and oil used being only 16P 

 per ton of honey extracted. It takes the place of a man at 

 $40 per month and board, so one can readily see that it much 

 more than paid for itself in the one season, besides doing 

 much better work than could be otherwise. The above cost 

 of extracting is given on the basis of gasoline at 25^ per gal- 

 lon, which is the cost here. I'ruly, 



H. A. Slavton.
