Root's Section-Honey 



THERE have been very few years when the outlook for a bumper honey crop has been brighter 

 than it is now— at the opening of the season of 1912. Every indication points to an almost 



unprecedented honey-flow, and the bee-keeper who is not making most complete prepara- 

 tions to reap the harvest will not be very well satisfied with himself when the surplus has all been 

 taken ofl this fall, or when he knows a big flow is on and he has no sections to put on his hives. 



Of course the section problem is the most important one to the comb-honey man, and it 

 MUST be solved right. Therefore why take risks? Why run the slightest chance of getting sec- 

 tions of uncertain quality, or experimenting at a price you can not aflford to pay? We are the 

 largest manufacturers of Section-honey lioxes in the world— naturally we have the finest equip- 

 ment for section-making, and cut up the best lumber. We are in close touch with every phase of 

 bee-keeping— with every department of the honey trade— therefore we know the service sections 

 are required to give, and we make ROOT'S SECTlON-IIONIi)!' BOXICS to meet these require- 

 ments. Years of experience and satisfied section patrons throughout the world ought to count; 

 and you, Mr. BEEKEEPER, if you will buy ROOT'S SECTIONS, will understand why.
