II The Kretchmer Mfg. Co. || 



Announces with Pleasure the 

 Formal Chantie of Name to 



The A. I. Root Company of Iowa 



The new Company offers you all that the 

 name implies of service, years of experi- 

 ence — the benefit of which may be had 

 for the asking — and the unexcelled qual- 

 ity of goods that have made the Root 

 name famous. Our excellent shipping 

 facilities, with the correspondingly low 

 freight rates to beekeepers of the Mis- 

 souri Valley, makes it attractive. 



The principal officers and foremen were 

 trained largely at Medina, Ohio; the 

 machinery is automatic and of approved 

 style, which facts assure our customers 

 of the Root standard of workmanship. 



The Company is largely financed locally 

 but some stock is available to beekeep- 

 ers and people of the middle West. In- 

 formation on application.
