The Service 

 Tliaf Satisfies 



3Ir. E. W. Peirce: — Our transactions have been 

 perfectly satisfactory to me. You certainly fill 

 orders with accuracy and dispatch. I receive 

 freight orders almost as quick as return mail, even 

 during the honey-flow. I will recommend you to 

 any one in need of bee-supplies. Yours truly,

The foregoing is a fair sample of letters 

 that are constantly being received from 

 pleased customers. "There's a reason" — 

 several of them. In the first place, the 

 quality of supplies handled by this house is 

 the very best — ROOT'S goods are the stand- 

 ard of excellence. Then there is the matter 

 of location. Our city has unsurpassed ship- 

 ping facilities, insuring delivery of orders 

 with minimum delay. Add to this the 

 elimination of "red tape," prompt and 

 painstaking care in packing goods, and last, 

 but not least, fair and courteous treatment, 

 and you have THE SERVICE THAT 

 SATISFIES.

 lustrated catalog, which explains every 

 thing. A postal card will bring it.

 ment of the bees for the production of honey.
