But how does the Workmanship Compare with ours at I |\9IISIQ P'RIC^ES ? 



We are receiving daily, unsolicited, testimonials like this : 



The a. I. Root Co. : The Dovetailed hives ordered of you some time ago arrived from

() sweat steals down the heated cheeks and 

 aching back of the bee-keeper as the re- 

 sult of standing in the hot sun puifing, blowing, smoking and brushing bees ; no time is 

 wasted in these disagreeable operations, and no stings received in resentment of such treat- 

 ment ; the honey is secured free from black or even the taint of smoke ; the cappings are 

 not injured by the gnawing of bees ; and robbers stand no show whatever. If there are any 

 broken burr-combs they are cleaned up by the bees inside the hive, before the honey is re-

 possible to realize the amount of vexatious, annoying, disagreeable work that it saves. The 

 cost is only 20 cts. each, or $2.25 per doz. As in the past, this escape is manufactured by the 

 Porters, but The A. I. RootlJCo. has secured control of the sale for this country. Order of
