ACCURACY 



IN SECTIONS 



Were you ever annoyed by receiving poor Sections ? Sections that were rough, bad color, inaccu- 

 rately cut ? Then you know what it means. The Root System of making and grading their Sections 

 insures perfection. With the best possible machinery and lumber, together with a scheme of insuring 

 best grading, the Root output of Sections is the largest in the world, and they are used by bee-keepers 

 everywhere with the best of satisfaction. When you buy Sections this year see that the box bears the 

 trade-mark that makes Root's Goods Famous.

There is no need of going- into details why a Hive should be made with the greatest possible accu- ((til) 



racy. If the work is not done very near perfect the bees will glue up the Hive with propolis and then « *B °» 



your trouble begins. There's a satisfaction of putting up Root's Hives that more than pays for their fraM 



slightly extra cost over the cheap-made kinds. Read what Mr. Dobson says : V%ff

Gentlemen : — I am writing you in regard to some goods I bought of your agent, Mr. J. C. Acklin, SSK 



1024 Miss. St., St. Paul. I purchased five Danzenbaker hives with full sheets of foundation in brood- |y| 



chamber and super. I will say this much for Root's Goods : I never saw nicer or cleaner stock, no «J>5 



cracked or broken pieces, and everything fitted to perfection. Everything full count, including nails, etc. Km)

To-day I was over to a neighbor's helping him assemble some newly purchased hives made by a mh) 



firm in . I was tempted to ask him why he didn't get Root's Goods. I wish you could have £»» 



seen the difference. When I went there he had not uncrated them. I said to him, " Have you got all (fel) 



you need?" He said, " Oh, yes." Well, we found out differently. They had sent only half enough V\T 



foundation, no small tacks for fastening wire, and not half enough nails, and sixteen top-bars short. I VjgjJ 



guess we said something to ourselves about that shipping clerk. WM. V. DOBSON. V*T
