A Guarantee of Workmanship 



We have spent thousands of dollars in building- and improving- our Section Machinery. Our 

 equipment is the best that brains can produce. We use only the best basswood lumber that can be ob- 

 tained. Now to insure the third feature in the trinity of perfection — inspection. 



The human quality Is harder to regulate than either machinery or material. How can the correct 

 grading of our sections be insured ? We have a system that solves the question. In every crate of Root 

 sections made in 1906 you will find an inspection card like the one illustrated above. The Sorter, when 

 he finishes his work, stamps his number on this card — likewise the Packer. In case of careless grading 

 or packing the matter can be traced to its source. The Sorter and Packer are anxious to keep their posi- 

 tions and ambitious for better wages. Naturally the best possible work is done by each. 



Root's Sections for 1906 are better than ever. Last season we made 23,000,000. This season we 

 will doubtless exceed that mark.
