Root's Goods in Chicago. 



For the saving of freight for our 

 western trade, as well as to give much 

 quicker delivery, we opened a branch 

 office in Chicago, Oct. 1, 1903. The 

 following taken from our catalog of 

 last year, explains' the transfer then 

 made : 



The business for many years conducted by 

 George W. York & Co., at 144 E. Erie Street, 

 as agent for The A . 1. Root Company's sup- 

 plies, is this day transferred to The A. 1. Root 

 Company, to be conducted as a branch office. 

 Please note change of name to avoid confusion 

 in our work. The A. I. Root Co. 



October 1, 1903. 



To Our Customers and Friends : 



In transferring back to The A. I. Root 

 Company the bee-supply business, which we 

 took over from them some years ago, we do so 

 with regret, as we have labored hard to build 

 up a large and honorable trade in bee-appli- 

 ances, and value beyond expression the valua- 

 ble patronage accorded us during the years. 



We trust the same will be continued to our 

 successors in the business. 



George W. Tobk & Co. 

 Chicago, 111., Oct. 1, 1903. 



The conveniences offered by the 

 branch office were evidently apprecia- 

 ted by the bee-keepers of Illinois, Wis- 

 consin, and other States beyond, for 

 the business done by the branch was 

 much beyond our expectations. Dur- 

 ing the rush season — April, May and 

 June — orders came in so fast that, in 

 spite of frequent orders to the factory 

 for another car of goods, the stock ran 

 low, and some delays and annoyances 

 thereby were caused. Some little con- 

 fusion because of change of name and 

 manner of conducting the business 

 (from agency to branch office), but these 

 have all been overcome. We are bet- 

 ter than ever prepared to handle your 

 business carefully and promptly, and 

 solicit your patronage. 



Low Freight and Quick 

 Delivery. 



A glance at any railroad map will 

 show the superiority of Chicago as a 

 shipping-point. Because of the great 

 number of railroad and steamboat lines 

 centering in Chicago, and the large 

 stock of goods we carry, we can give 

 you the best of service. This office is 

 in constant touch with the factory and 

 home office, and in many cases can 

 give your order quicker attention and 

 earlier shipment than the factory, to 

 say nothing about the saving in time 

 and transit and lower transportation 

 charges. 



Wholesale and Retail. 



We are prepared to furnish goods at 

 wholesale and retail, the same as the 

 home office. 



Terms. 



Our terms are cash with the order. 

 We pay cash for material, and pay our 



helpers cash every week for their work; 

 therefore we must have cash in ad- 

 vance for the goods furnished. Do not 

 ask for credit; 



Beeswax Wanted. 



We are in the market for good bees- 

 wax the entire year, and pay the same 

 prices as quoted by our home office in 

 each issue of Gleanings in Bee Cul- 

 ture. Send your wax direct to us for 

 cash or in exchange for supplies. 



Extracted Honey. 



In the course of a year we use large 

 quantities of extracted honey, and are 

 pleased to get sample and prices from 

 parties who have honey to exchange 

 for supplies. We are also prepared at 

 all times to furnish first-class honey to 

 any one who is in need of same, either 

 bee-keepers who have a demand for 

 more than they can furnish, or from 

 dealers. Get our prices before you 

 place your orders elsewhere.

The great popularity of the Danzenbaker hive has brong^ht the shallow-brood-frame and the 

 tall plain eections into prominence. It mnst be remembered that no other hive contains the essen- 

 tial features of the Danzenbaker. The success of this system depends on having everything just
