We are receiving daily, unsolicited, testimonials like th 



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

 the railroad to day, and this evening I put one of the bodies together, and must sa> it was just fuii. 

 Those dovtailed pieces were " voost der fit." la fact, everything seems to me bo far to be better than 

 the catalog promised or than I expected. 1 tiiank you for the promptness with which you filled the 

 order, and especially for the quality of the goods. As regards lumber in hives and frames, it is far 

 ahead of any 1 ever saw, and 1 have seen a number ordered of other dealers, and, as for workman- 

 ship, I have seen nothing to compare with yours. S. L. PAYNE, Westfall, Oregon, May .Oth 



This explains our great flood of orders. Thirty-six page Catalog. 



\0 sweat steals down the heated cheeks and 

 aching back of the bee-keeper as the re- 

 sult of standing in the hot sun puffing, 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- 

 moved. Leading bee-keepers use the PORTER escape, and say that without a trial it is im- 

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

 cost is only 20 cts. each, or $2.2'> per doz. As in the past, this escape is manufactured by the 

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



your dealer or of jhe A. I. ROOT CO., Medina, Ohio.
