GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE Nov. 1 



Removal Sale! 



CONTINUAL growth, hard work, and constant digging after business, 

 forces us to secure larger quarters. We have disposed of our pres- 

 ent place of business at 1322 South Flores Street, where we had a 

 building 40X250, and which was not nearly large enough for us, and we 

 found it necessary to put up a building just twice the size of our present 

 one. We have let the contract for our new building, in which we shall have 

 20,000 square feet of floor space, and shall be in position to carry a larger 

 and more complete stock of Root's Goods than ever before. Our foundation- 

 factory will also be rebuilt and placed on our new site, and will be built bet- 

 ter and more complete than ever before. We are glad to state that now we 

 are on the Southern Pacific Railroad, which has built a track right along 

 where our new building is going up, which reaches nearly every point to 

 which we ship. Heretofore we were very much handicapped, and many 

 shipments were delayed because we were on a road which could not handle 

 our shipments promptly. We can now concentrate honey shipments, make 

 good time, and give the very best service to our customers that can be had. 

 Our customers who heretofore called at 1322 So. Flores St., can in the future 

 obtain goods and information, and sell their wax, at our branch, 607 South 

 Flores Street. We have a number of customers south from San Antonio 

 who bring honey in wagons ; such customers, as a matter of convenience to 

 them, can deal with our branch, 607 South Flores Street, where they will 

 receive the same prompt attention as they did at 1322 South Flores. Oui- 

 friends who visit the city, and who find it inconvenient to go so far out 

 as 1322, can easily call on us at 607 South Flores, as this is only two blocks 

 from the county courthouse, and located directly opposite the United States 

 Arsenal, on South Flores Street. If you wish to pay us a call at our new 

 warehouse or general office, you can reach us by taking the Nolan Street 

 car, getting off at the subway, corner of Nolan and Cherry Streets. Our 

 office fronts Nolan Street, right where the car stops. Now, since we have 

 gone to such heavy expense and so much enlarged our business, we sin- 

 cerely hope that we sTiall be in position to please our friends and custom- 

 ers so well that they will induce their neighbors to trade with us in the 

 future. We are the only firm in the South that keeps such an immense 

 stock always on hand ready for prompt shipment, and fill our customers' 

 orders promptly when goods are needed most, and for that reason we are 

 entitled to all the trade that can be given us. 



Thanking all of our friends who helped to build us up by favoring us 

 with their patronage, and wishing all of our brother and sister bee-keepers 

 much success and happiness, we remain 



Yours very truly, UDO TOEPPERWEIN, 



San Antonio, Texas. W. M. MAYFIELD.
