THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAS. 



Dec. 14, 190S 



AT CHICAGO 



Our branch is located at 14+ E. Erie St. It is in charge of Mr. R. W. Boyden. We 

 keep at this branch a very complete stock of our bee-supplies. Shipping- there very fre- 

 quent carloads of goods, you can get from Chicago any special supplies with very little 

 delay. On regular supplies we can save you both time and freight. 



Mr. Boyden is thoroughly familiar with our line of Supplies, and is also a born bee- 

 keeper. He knows the city. We trust our friends will feel perfectly free to ask his ser- 

 vices in any way. Mr. Boyden will be present at the National Convention, and stands 

 ready to accommodate you. 



Our Line for 1906 



OUR HIVES AND SECTIONS 



Our hives and equipment, both for workmanship and clearness of stock, can not be excelled, and we doubt if they 

 have ever been equalled. So strong is the demand for these goods that there has been a strife in many cases among 

 dealers to get the Root Company's lines because they knew that everything that bears the Root brand is always popular 

 with the customer, aud always the best that money and brains can produce. 



Our sections and frames for 1906 are even better than ever. They are inspected and re-inspected, and each inspector 

 is required to put in each box of sections that he passes upon his own inspector's card, so that if complaint is made this 

 card will come back on him. As he is anxious to hold his position and if possible get an increase in pay, it is clearly to 

 his interest, as well as that of the customer, to let nothing but perfect goods pass. 



THE ROOT AUTOMATIC EXTRACTORS 



Our extractors for 1906 in point of improvements and quality of workmanship leave everything else in the shade. 

 The four, six and eight frame machines have the finest automatic reversing mechanism that has ever been put into a 

 machine. Even the two frame models can have the reversing mechanism put on at a slight additional cost ; but we do not 

 ordinarily advise buying the two-frame automatic. Steel construction has been substituted for cast iron wherever practi. 

 cable.
