We have had so many inquiries from bee-keepers who would liice to 

 purchase our supplies near at hand that we print below a partial list of 

 our distributing houses 'and dealers. 



These dealers are well known to bee-keepers. They have been, for 

 the most part, long established in the bee-supply trade, and have a knowl- 

 ed,e of the business most valuable indeed to the bee-keeping fraternity. 

 The r advice may be had on any question of supplies, etc., for the atking. 



Nowhere else is it possible to find such well-assorted stocks of goods 

 for bee-keepers as are carried by dealers in Root's Goods. No matter 

 whether you require a little five-cent article or a carload of goods, these 

 d -a ers can serve you promptly. Stocks are frequently carried amount- 

 ing to $5000 and upward. 



You will observe that these dealers have excellent shipping facilities 

 — guaranteeing quick delivery and low freight rates. 



The prices, terms, discounts, etc., are identical with the home office 

 at Medina (with rare exceptions). Full particulars may be had before 

 ordering, if desired, by writing the dealer nearest you. You can, how- 

 ever, use our Medina catalog and terms, and, if any variation, your dealer 

 will advise you, if requested, before shipping. 



Besides the following list, there are miny others who handle some 

 of Root's Goods. The following is by no means complete, for hundreds 

 of dealers come to us for many of the goods of which we are the exclusive 

 manufacturers. Insist on getting Roofs Goods. 



The A. I. Root Co., Medina, Ohio. Tucson, Ariz., April 22, 1909. 



Gentlemen: — Last fall we got 1000 sections, 4x5, from , and they were 



of the make, and we had too much trouble eetting them together, like some 



Hoffman frames from another agent of yours in New Mexico. They never came 

 from Medina. We know A. I. R. goods when we see them or when we feel of them. 



Box 15. Truly yours, Gus Marvin. 



The A. I. Root Co., Medina, Ohio. Analomink, Pa., April 20, 1909. 



Gentlemen: — About supplies, I must say that yours are the best I can get for 

 the money, and I am always well pleased with them. C. H. Gurr. 



In addition to the following list who carry large stocks, and furnish 

 at both ivholesale and retail, we have in every State a large number of 

 local dealers who handle our goods exclusively. 



If you do not find in this list the name of a dealer near you, write us 

 and we will give you the name of your nearest dealer, and his shipping- 

 point. All other things being equal, it certainly pays to get your sup- 

 plies near at home, as you will save freight and annoying delays thereby. 

 If you would prefer to do so, send us your proposed list and we will 

 quote you prices by letter and suggest a shipping-point.
