GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. Mar. 15 \ 



New Goods 

 for 1909 



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 puff 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.

If you can use any of the cases in the foregoing list we will quote very attractive prices to 

 clean them up. Please write at once if you want any.

Beeswax Wanted. 



We are in fine shape to use large supplies of beeswax. Bee-keepers in Texas, Mex- 

 ico, New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma, and Louisiana should bear this in mind In our 

 foundation department we have a force of expert workmen who thoroughly understand 

 their work. In working the beeswax they are careful to retain the original fragrant odor 

 of the hive. It takes skill and care to do this, but we do it. If you desire your beeswax 

 worked up in this way send it here. We buy wax outright for cash, and we also do con- 

 siderable trading for bee-supplies.
