But how does the Workmanship Compare with ours at w IXOIJM/^ 17E7I^P^^'^ 



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 " yoost der fit." In fact, everything seems to me so far to be better than 

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

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

 ahead of any I ever saw, and i 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. 



rO 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 |2.25 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 j\^q fi^ |^ ROOT CO., Medina, Ohjo.
