will get a correspondingly larger rebate clieck on 

 your order. One of our subscribers got a rebate 

 check of $40.00 on bis order of supplies last month, 

 March. It was just like getting money flora home 

 to him, as he sent us the same money ho would 

 have had to pay if he had bought thru the regular 

 dealer in beekeepers' supplies. More and more, 

 close buyers of beekeepers supplies are investigating 

 the buying facilities of the Domestic Beekeeper. A 

 word to the wise should be sufficient to cause you to 

 send your next order for beekeepers' supplies to the 

 Domestic Beekeeper, Northstar, Michigan. 



NOTICE TO CALIFORNI.\NS. — This is to inform 

 our customers that Mr. H. J. Bostwick of the Los 

 .\ngeles office, an experienced business man, and 

 one who was formerly connected with the A. I. Root 

 Company at Medina. O., has been appointed to suc- 

 ceed Mr. W. A. Rafael, who resigned. Mr. Bostwick 

 formally took charge of the office May 1st, 1919. 

 Owing to the removal of our manufacturing plant 

 into our own permanent headquarters at 1824 E. 

 Fifteenth Street, Los .\ngeles, Cal., we were greatly 

 delayed in filling our orders. The change took place 

 .iust" after the signing of the Armistice and it was 

 almost impossible to get expert help to install old 

 and new machinery in the new plant. We are 

 pleased to inform our customers that we are now 

 turning out as fine goods as were ever made and 

 fully up to the standard of Root quality at Medina. 

 We invite vou to call at our office either at 1824 

 E. Fifteenth St., Los Angeles, or 52-54 Main St., 

 San Francisco, Cal., where we shall be pleased to 

 show you the quality of the goods turned out in our 

 brand new plant. Thanking you for your past fa- 

 vors and hoping we may have the privilege of serv- 

 ing you further with goods that are up to date and 

 readv to ship on short notice, we are. 



The A. I. Root Company of California.
