The 



Goods We 

 Handle 



Our 

 Service 



For years we have followed the example of the fac- 

 tory, and allowed our customers the benefit of the 

 discounts oifered by the Root Company for orders 

 placed during the fall months for supplies for use 

 the following season. This discount for October 

 is six per cent for cash with orders, and diminishes 

 one per cent per month as the season advances. We 

 are sure many of our beekeeping friends will want 

 to take advantage of this discount, not only because 

 of the actual cash saving, but because of the con- 

 venience of getting goods before the rush of the 

 busy season. 



We have said so much about the quality of Root's 

 goods, and they are already so well known by bee- 

 keepers, that it hardly seems necessary even to men- 

 tion the fact, except to remind you that we carry 

 always a full and complete stock of Root's goods 

 only. If you have tried others and they haven't 

 given just the satisfaction they should, send us a 

 trial order this season. For quality of material and 

 accuracy of workmanship you will find them un- 

 excelled. 



Each season we aim to make some improvement in 

 the service we can give our customers. We aim to 

 keep our stocks always complete, and to allow no 

 order, large or small, to drag through our establish- 

 ment. The shipping facilities at our command 

 enable us to get goods started to you by direct 

 routes at once. Whether your order is large or 

 small it will have the most careful attention at our 

 hands from the time it reaches us until the goods 

 are in your hands. 



Full information on any point regarding beekeeping 

 in the Southwest cheerfully given on request.
