Read what J. I. Parent, of 

 Charlton, N. Y., says— "We cut 

 with one of your Combined Ma- 

 chines last winter 50 chaff hives 

 with 7-inch cap, 100 honey- 

 racks, 500 broad frames, 3,000 

 honey boxes, and a great deal 

 of other work. This winter we 

 have doubled the amount of 

 bee-hives, etc., to make, and we 

 expect to do it all with this saw. 

 It will do all you say it will."

KIND WORDS FROM ODR CUSTOMERS. 



As long as A. I. Root lives, and your humble sub- 

 scriber lives, you will find my name on your sub- 

 scription list, M. A. Bellows. 



Griffin's Corners, N. Y., Nov. 24. 



Tell Dr. Miller, as it is now winter back in Illinois, 

 I think he might lengthen his Straw column, as I 

 enjoy reading Stray Straws very much. 



Encinitas, Cal., Dec. 5. J. M. Crow. 



Your last shipment of bee-supplies, October 6, is 

 received, and merits praise for its workmanship. 

 All the parts united nicely. I have them all put up 

 and ready for the coming season, with the exception 

 of some painting yet to be done. No mistakes in 

 the parts manufactured so far. How can it be other- 

 wise when " In God we trust " is the motto of The 

 A. I. Root Co ? M. N. Simon. 



Bloomdale, O., Nov. 10. 



The watch ($8.85) I ordered from your catalog is at 

 hand, though it must have been delayed, as I was on 

 the point of writing you when it arrived. I have 

 run it a few days, and it is a dandy. It is a much 

 handsomer watch tlian I expected to see; and if, on 

 further trial, it proves to run all right, it is a bar- 

 gain for that money. Such a watch bought at the 

 store would cost $12.00. I know, for I pticed them. 

 I take pleasure in sending a money order for the 

 amount. F. C. Fuller. 



Montague, Mass., Sept. 29. 



I have taken your little paper for lol these many 

 years, and like it much. It is always bright and 

 sparkling, and never dull; and as variety is said to 

 be the spice of life it must therefore be a spicy little 

 journal. In it one may flrd discussed not only 

 honey but fruit and vegetables; and last, but not 

 least, it sets forth our duty to God as well as man. 

 Well, I was always extremely fond of sandwiches; 

 and what is better than honei , fruit, vegetables, 

 and religion, with "Straws " for toothpicks ?
