WHAT OUR TRADE-MARK STANDS FOR 



We have been at this business for over 40 years. This means a great deal. 

 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 



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



date. All of these advantages cost you nothing over standard prices. 



Our motto has always been, " Not how much, but how good." By making our goods 

 the best we have naturally become the largest manufacturers of bee-supplies in the world. 

 The lumber, the workmanship, everything that enters into our goods is the best, and has 

 passed the most exacting tests to prove it so. 



We believe in treating our customers right. Best goods and prompt- 

 ness are our watch-words. Courteous treatment to our customers is de- 

 manded from our employees and agents. Your interests are ours. Your 

 welfare means ours. A satisfied customer is our aim, and we only ask a 

 chance to prove what we say.

TESTIMONIALS 



We are always greatly pleased to see your new

 Yours very truly.

Dear Sirs : — The shipment of hives and bee- 

 supplies wtiich 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,

I have just now unpacked and examined the

Gentlemen .— I am well pleased with your ptompt 

 way of doing business. The goods are just simply 

 nice. Many thanks. Yours truly,

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.

My bill of bee-supplies reached its destination in 

 due time. I am under obligations to you for the

 Please accept my thanks.

 seuding the sections I ordered from you. They 

 came in less time than it takes to tell it.
