ABSOLUTELY FREE IN A CONTEST. 



FIRST PRIZE-25 lbs. Comb Fdn. THIRD PRIZES lbs. Comb Fdn. 



SECOND " -lO lbs. Comb'Fdn. FOURTH " -5 lbs. Comb Fdn. 



FIFTH PRIZE-5 lbs. Comb Fdn. 



n^HE ABOVE PRIZES will be given absolutely free to those who will make the 

 -*- largest number of words out of the lettei"s found in the name "Toepperwein." 

 The letters may be used over as many times as desired, but in no single word oftener 

 than found in the name ' ' Toepperwein. ' ' Only words found in Webster's d iotionary 

 are admitted. The words must all be plainly written in columns, and numbered. 



This contest is absolutely free to any one and anywhere. It is a fair contest, 

 and one has the same chance as the other. These contests are very instructive, and 

 just the thing for schoolchildren to pass the evenings. The contest will close May 

 1, 1908, and all lists with words must then be in, and in May 15th Gleanings the 

 results will be published, giving the names of the winners and all the words of the 

 one who wins the first prize. The winners have the privilege of choosing any 

 grade of foundation. We feel confident that the winners will be highly pleased 

 with the prizes, as the comb foundation is as fine and perfect as any machinery 

 can make, and is made right here in our factory out of this clear Southern beeswax. 



Now do not lay this aside and put it off until some other time, but begin right 

 now and start the list. Write the words in a little memorandum-book and carry 

 it in your pocket; and every time you think of another word mark it down. There 

 are a great many words to be made out of the name "Toepperwein," and you 

 have just as good a chance as any one else; so do not let any time go by, thinking 

 some one else may have more words. Now, understand you are welcome to enter 

 this contest, no matter whether you own bees or not, nor whether you are old or 

 young, nor where you live. In case any of the winners have even nutubers, then 

 the amounts will be equally divided between such winners. 



ROOT'S BEE-SUPPLIES. 



We always carry a large and complete stock of The A. I. Root Co. 'a make of 

 bee-supplies at Root's factory prices. Write us for illustrated catalog and price list. 



HONEY AND BEESWAX. 



We buy honey and beeswax at all times. If you have any to offer, write us 

 stating quantity you have, quality, and your best price delivered at San Antonio. 

 We also work beeswax into comb foundation by the pound at reasonable rates. 

 We should like to have some business from associations in other States who have 

 large quantities to work up. Our capacity is 500 lbs. per day. 



We have just received a set of new machinery, and our Weed New Process 

 Foundation is perfect and gives perfect satisfaction everywhere. 



Whenever you are in San Antonio make our office your headquarters and let 

 us show you through our plant. Stay here a while and meet the bee-keepers as 

 they come in. You are always welcome and will be courteously treated.
