ROOT COMPANY'S PAGE. 



SHIPPING-CASES. 



Our No-Drip Cases are still in the 

 lead. We keep constantly on hand a 

 large assortment from 12-pound size 

 up. We also make special sizes to 

 order. 



That Root's Cases are in demand is 

 shown by the fact that one dealer alone 

 has ordered 16,000 this season. 



WINTER-CASES. 



Our Winter-Cases are made of thin 

 lumber dovetailed at the corners, with 

 a telescope cover. 



The cost is only 75 cents each sing-ly, 

 yet for convenience they are unsur- 

 past, and only excelled by the chaff 

 hive in the protection afforded. Don't 

 let your bees winter-kill or spring- 

 dwindle when you can avoid it by using- 

 our Winter-Cases. 



RUBBER GLOVES. 



This is the time of the year when 

 you need gloves, for robbers are about 

 the bees and they are harder to handle 

 than earlier. Take comfort with a pair 

 of our gloves. 



Ladies' siEes, Nos. 6, 7, 8 and 0, $1.35; postag-e, 5c 

 Gents' sizes, Nos. 10, 11 and 12, $1.45; " Sc 

 Extra long- driving, Nos.]3, 14, $1.70; " 10c 

 Mark size of hand on sheet of paper when or- 

 dering-. If you order by number, remember that 

 in rubber you need two sizes larger than you 

 wear in kid; i.e., if you wear No. 6 in kid you 

 will need No. 8 rubber. 



BICYCLES 



In trade for honey at market prices. 



n Having: sold a carload of bicycle crates, we 

 took in trade a quantity of machines which, so 

 lon^ as they lasi, we will sell AT COST. 



^ A $30.00 bicycle—" Pathfinder "—made by the 

 National American Cycle Company, Akron, O., 

 for $17.00 cash or $20.00 in trade for honey of 

 g-ood quality at market prices. Catalog- and 

 further particulars will be sent on application. 

 Send a sample of your honey and we will give 

 you price we will allow. 



COMB FOUNDATION. 



r- Not too late yet to order Comb Foun- 

 dation for the fall flow. If you order 

 Root's Weed Process you may be sure 

 you will be pleased with the result. 

 We keep in stock the four grades in 

 boxes of 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 or 25 pounds. 

 h« A small order has the same attention 

 as an order for a ton. 



SPECIAL GOODS. 



This lis the time when you should 

 order odd size or special goods. Our 

 busy season is over and we can do al- 

 most any work in wood you want, 

 eii •• t"r bee-keepers or others. 



We make a specialty of packing-- 

 boxes, from the size of a section-box 

 up. Let^us figure with you. 



FEEDERS. 



How about your winter stores ? Are 

 you sure your bees have enough ? 

 Should it be necessary to feed you can't 

 do it easier than with our Division- 

 Board Feeder. This is made to hang 

 like a frame in a Langstroth hive. 

 Price, 20 cents each, complete. Less 

 in quantities. 



Honey-Labels. 



Do you use labels for your honey ? 

 Are they really .\ttkactivk labels ? If 

 you do not you may be losing many 

 sales because your honey lacks attract- 

 iveness. You can't expect to market 

 your honey at the best price unless you 

 use every care in putting it up. Send 

 for our label catalog and see our 1, 2, 

 and 3 color labels. 



Tin Packages for Honey. 



If you are one of the people who 

 market extracted honey in small lots 

 you will find our pails just what you 

 want. A dozen sizes and kinds to se- 

 lect from. We also furnish square cans 

 — 1-quart, 2-quart ; 1-gallon and S-gal- 

 lons. A single can or carload, as you 

 wish. Write for prices. 



Gleanings In Bee-Culture. 



When our advertisers write us that 

 their advertisements have paid them 

 well, we know Gleanings in Bee- 

 CuLTDRE must be read by the best bee- 

 keepers. We know, too, that Glean- 

 ings is appreciated, for our circulation 

 is increasing all the time. Send 25c 

 for a six months' trial and get A. I. R's 

 Notes of Travel and hundreds of other 

 interesting things. 



Comb-Foundatlon Mills. 



Perhaps you are so far from us and 

 rates are so high that you want to 

 make your own foundation. 



Our mills are being improved con- 

 stantly. If you want to purchase a 

 foundation mill, send for package of 

 samples showing different styles we 

 can furnish. Send 2c stamp for these. 



Bushel Boxes. 



C Bee-keepers are always looking for 

 labor-saving ideas. Have you ever read 

 our 16-page pamphlet," Handling Farm 

 Produce?" It is full of information 

 and gives prices of bushel boxes and 

 other things. Free for the asking. 



HONEY-EXTRACTORS. 



•* Operator Nn. 6 puts the honey-combs in the 

 extractors, which is a Cowan 4-frame rerersi- 

 ble, with ball-bf^arings and lever-brake — in 

 short, the best extractor on the market." 



Extract from article of N. E. France, 

 of Wisconsin, in June Review. No one 

 is better qualified to judge the worth 

 of an extractor than Mr. France. He 

 says the Root Cowan is the Best. 



Thousands of others say so. 



Glass Honey-Packages, 



We have all sizes of Mason Jars with 

 aluminum or porcelain-lined caps. Also 

 Jelly Tumblers, two sizes ; Glass Pails, 

 four sizes ; and Self-Sealing Jam Jars. 

 Besides these we still have the four 

 sizes square jars, which have long been 

 on the market. Don't forget us when 

 you need glass packages for honey. 



RUBBER STAMPS. 



Have you ever thought how handy it 

 would be to use a rubber stamp to mark 

 your honey-cases, showing the grade ? 

 Then, too, if you sell in the home mar- 

 ket you ought to have your name on 

 the case so it would be returned. We 

 make stamps of all kinds for all sorts 

 of purposes. Let us send you our rub- 

 ber stamp circular. 



QUEENS. 



We don't say much about our queens, do we? 

 I suppose some of our friends wonder why. Let 

 us tell you: We began selling queens many 

 years ago. We know all about the business 

 from A to Z. We have the best breeding queens 

 to be found in this country or Italy, and the 

 best apiarist to be had. The result is our 40il 

 colonies do not begin to furnish enough queens 

 for our orders. Our queens are unsurpast. 



You will find it so if you buy them. 



HONEY. 



We buy a number of carloads of comb and ex- 

 tracted honey each year. If you have secured a 

 good crop send us your offer. You don't have 

 to worry about the returns if you sell to us. 



If you have extracted honey send sample. If 

 you have failed to secure enough for your home 

 market, let us supply you. We have honey en- 

 gaged all over the country, and can ship direct 

 from the producer, many times. 



AGENCIES. 



A list of our principal agencies will 

 be mailed you on request. We can ship 

 from stock such items as our regular 

 Hives, Sections. Foundation, Extract- 

 ors, etc., from these agencies. 



Send your order direct to us, if you 

 prefer, and request that we ship from 

 nearest point, and we will do so, saving 

 you freight charges and giving you 

 quick delivery. .
