More than 40 years ago, A. I. Root, Avliile turning a clothes 

 wringer, conceived the idea of a comb-foundation "mill," 

 making practical the production of real comb foundation. 



About 25 years ago A. I. Root and his organization en- 

 coui-aged, assisted, and financed the inventor of the celebrated 

 Weed Process- of forming strong, tough sheets of Avax, as dif- 

 ferent from the ohl jn-ocess of "dipped" sheets as the finest 

 steel is different IVom pig iron. 



And now, in the senii-e(^ntennial vear of tlie Root organi- 

 zation comes THE MOST DIPORTANT ANNOTTNCEi\IENT 

 OF ALL. 



After years of experimenting we are exceedingly pleased 

 to announce to our many friends and customers that we Avill 

 in the near future Ix^ al)h' to supply a coml) foundation nmde

 whieh, Ave believe, is one of the greatest improvements in coml)- 

 foundation malving that has ever been made. Our new process 

 has to do Avith the refining of the AA'ax and Avitli the milling, re- 

 sulting in a product mov nearly resembling the natural mid- 

 ril) of the comb than any other foundation.
