The Man behind the Root Line 



Fifty Years of Service to 

 Beekeepers 



1869-1919 



FOR fifty years A. I. Root has manufactured and sold bee- 

 keepers' supplies and appliances. The goods turned out 

 by the house of Root are as good as the man behind them. 

 The service rendered by the house of Root is as unfailing and 

 untiring as have been the efforts of this man in establishing the 

 bee and honey business thruout our land upon a solid and sub- 

 stantial basis. 



The Root aim has always been to serve each beekeeper in as 

 many ways as possible, whether it be to — 



Make and sell the best supplies. 



Publish the best bee literature. 



Market his wax and honey at the highest prices, 



Print his labels, cartons and stationery. 



Provide him with best and most authoritative information. 



The A. I. Root Company has always endeavored to serve the 

 beekeekers' interests in the best possible manner, and to give a 

 square deal to all. 



THIS IS STILL OUR POLICY.
