1908 GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 1461

NEW STOCKS 



During the season just closed we have, on account of the unusual demand for our 

 supplies, reduced our stocks to a minimum. 



VISIT TO THE FACTORY 



Knowing so well the requirements of the bee-keepers of the South, I decided to visit 

 the factory of The A. I. Root Company and personally select our stock for the coming 

 season. This I am now doing, and v\'ill be back in San Antonio to give personal at- 

 tention to the trade shortly after this announcement appears. While our goods have 

 always been of first quality, this personal selection will assure even more uniformity 

 than ever before, and I want to say to my bee-keeping friends that, while I am well 

 acquainted with all of the leading lines of bee-keepers' supplies, I have never seen any 

 thing equal to the quality of those which I now have. 



JOB LOTS 



Notwithstanding the reduction of our stocks as above noted, we have on hand a 

 few desirable lots of shipping-cases and a few other goods for which we have but a very 

 limited demand in the South; and, rather than carry these in stock, we have decided 

 to close them out. We refer intending purchasers to the list of shipping-cases pub- 

 lished in the November 1st issue of Gleanings, page 1337. For further description of 

 these and similar goods, write us. 



HONEY-CANS 



As usual, we are prepared to supply all styles of honey-cans in all sizes, and solicit 

 your inquiries and patronage. Our contracts with the factory enable us to furnish 

 these at lower prices than any other Southern concern, and the quality is the best. 



WEED FOUNDATION 



It will be remembered that we have a full equipment of Weed machinery, so that 

 bee-keepers having large lots of select wax which they desire worked into foundation 

 by the pound can have it done at San Antonio, and save heavy transportation charges. 

 We also furnish the same at the usual catalog prices. While on my visit to the fac- 

 tory I have selected additional machinery to keep our equipment up to the best. 



Soliciting your continued patronage I am yours truly, 



Udo Toepperwein.
