Our factory is more complete than ever; and, having enlarged our business very 

 much, buying every thing for cash, we are anxious to do twice the amount of business 

 in the line of comb foundation that we ever did before. Our Weed New-process 

 Comb Foundation is the best that money can buy; and whenever we succeed in plac- 

 ing some with a bee-keeper it means that bee-keeper's trade in the future. We also 

 work wax into foundation by the pound at reasonable rates. Write us for rates, stat- 

 ing amount of wax you desire worked up. 



With our very large and complete stock of The A. I. Root Co.'s make of bee- 

 keepers' supplies in connection with our comb-foundation factory we are placed in 

 position to oiTer you a special inducement to try our comb foundation, as we feel con- 

 fident that you will use it all the time after you once try it. 



HERE IS OUR OFFER-GOOD ONLY UNTIL FEB. 



I908: 



Any one who sends in an oixler for bee-supplies at the regular catalog price, with 

 the cash to the amount of $35 or more, will receive, absolutely free of charge with his 

 shipment, 1 lb. of thin super foundation and 1 lb. of light brood foundation as samples. 

 When sending in your order you must mention this advertisement in Gleanings to 

 entitle you to the 2-lb. sample package of foundation. 



Now, please understand your order must be for $25 or more, and no shipment 

 will be entitled to more than 3 lbs. of foundation— no matter how large the order may 

 be. We are glad to give you a 3-lb. package to convince a bee-keeper that our foun- 

 dation made by the Weed New Process, out of our clear southern beeswax, is good 

 foundation. We are doing this to enlarge our trade. We seldom lose any of our cus- 

 tomers, as we know how to'^give the money's worth. We receive many complimen- 

 tary letters from our customers, such as the following, unsolicited: 



Udo & Max Toepperwtin: — I got the bill of hives, and nearly all are made up. They are the 

 finest hives I nearly ever saw. While we were waiting for the order my wife said: " Where 

 did you order your hives from 'r " I said they were from The A. I. Root Co. ; then she said, "Then 

 we shall get some good hives, for they make the best hivcs we ever used." She always nails up 

 the hives and frames, so she has a right to know about as much about the hive as I do. We have 

 bought bee-supplies from several different factories, but A. I. Root makes the best goods of any 

 of the factories that we have ever bought from. I have used foundation from several different 

 factories and think your Weed New-process Comb Foundation as good as any I ever used. 

 It is a great pleasure to deal with a firm that ships out the supplies as promptly as you do. 

 Taft Texas Dec. 22, 1907. Yours very truly, S. M. Campbell. 



Udo d; Max Toepperivein: — Are you still in the bee-supply business? If so, please send me 

 one of your descriptive catalogs, as I want to buy all my supplies from you as long as you are in 

 the bee-supply business. Very truly yours.
