 Not only are we intimate with every phase of bee-keeping', but we have an accu- 

 mulation of knowledge that is invaluable. All these years we have been learning 

 what the beekeeper really wants, and how to supply it down to the smallest 

 That means the goods you get bearing Root's trade-mark are the very latest and best known to 

 All of these advantages cost you nothing over standard prices.

TESTIMONIALS 



We are always greatly pleased to see your new 

 editions of your new catalog of Bee-Keepers' Sup- 

 plies, etc. We shall certainly make ample mention 

 of it in our paper. You are our best authority in 

 regard to all matters of bee-keeping. 

 Yours very truly,

Farm, Field & Fireside. 



Dear Sirs : — The shipment of hives and bee- 

 supplies which you sent me arrived in excellent 

 condition, and every one who has seen them is de- 

 lighted with the accuracy and precision of the 

 workmanship of every detail, both of the goods 

 and the manner in which the order was executed. 

 Yours very truly, 



Cape Colony. Frederic T. Bioletti. 



I have just now unpacked and examined the 

 goods sent by you, and am greatly pleased with the 

 lot. W. H. G11.1,.

Gentlemen : — I am well pleased with your ptompt 

 way of doing business. The goods are just simply 

 nice. Many thanks. Yours truly, 



John D. A. Fisher. 



I do not want anything set up, as I would 

 rather set the hives up myself. Besides, it is a 

 pleasure to put Root's hives and fixtures together. 

 Tiffin, Ohio. John L. Funk. 



Your promptness and square dealing indeed 

 make it a pleasure to do business with you, and I 

 thank you. Harry H. Larkin,

My bill of bee-supplies reached its destination in 

 due time. I am under obligations to you for the 

 kindness, for a delay would have been a loss to me. 

 Please accept my thanks.

I desire to thank you tor being so prompt in 

 sending the sections I ordered from you. They 

 came in less time than it takes to tell it.

The consignment of bee-material received to-day. 

 Your promptness in filling orders is remarkable, 

 especially when the circumstances are considered.
