But how does the Workmanship Compare with ours at 



We are receiving daily, unsolicited, testimonials like this : 



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 say it was just fun. 

 Those dovtailed pieces were " voost der fit " In fact, everytliing seems to me so far to be belter than 

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

 order, and especially for the (luality 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 5th 



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



fO sweat steals down the heated cheeks and 

 aching back of llie 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 wliatever. If tliere 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 witliout a trial it is im- 

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

 cost is only 20 cts. each, or )j;2.2.5 per doz. As in the past, this escape is manufactured by the 

 Porters, but The A. I. Root^Go. has secured control of the sale for tMs country. Order of 



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