Good News for the Southwestern Bee-keeper 



The strenuous season of 1908 left our stock of bee-supplies in a depleted 

 condition. We have now replenished our stock with large shipments of the 

 finest bee-goods ever seen in the Southwest. These are 



Root's Goods Exclusively 



We have not dared to experiment with any other line of bee-supplies; and 

 from the looks of our new goods we shall never need to. They are ''as fine 

 as silk." We should be glad if our customers would come and see them. 

 You will be pleased with the best ever. Come along and enjoy a day in San 

 Antonio, picking out what you want while your wife goes shopping. Seeing is 

 believing, and we would far rather hear you pufi our goods than do it ourselves. 

 But we honestly believe we have not only the largest line of bee-supplies in 

 Texas, but also, by far, the best in quality. 



Order Now 



Please don't wait till the last hour before ordering, when we are buried 

 out of sight with orders all wanted the same day we receive them. Last spring 

 we lost a great deal of sleep on account of being swamped with orders, and we 

 had to work far into the night to catch up. Some nights we worked all night 

 long. We know there are many who can just as well order right now, and 

 save both themselves and us considerable anxiety during the busy season. 



Early-order discount — 4 per cent for January; 3 per cent for February. 



Catalogs Free on Demand 



With our catalog in hand you can pick out the various items required, at 

 your leisure. When you make out an order, send it to us and we will do the 

 rest. It will be regarded as a favor from you, and be appreciated accordingly.
