A MAIN POINT OF DISTRIBUTION! 



NATURALLY the center of our large export business, and logically the 

 source from which a majority of Eastern Bee-keepers expect their supplies 

 to come, our NEW YORK BRANCH has been made A MAIN POINT 

 OF DISTRIBUTION for all goods in the big ROOT LINE. Equipped for 

 service in the fullest meaning of the word, well stocked, well managed, 

 familiarity with every appliance for successful bee-keeping and the high- 

 ways and byways of shipping, here, as perhaps at no other point are we 

 thoroughly prepared to care for the wants of our Eastern bee-keeping 

 friends. 



Supplies and Stock. 



We have a complete line of all 

 goods listed in the ROOT cata- 

 log, and carloads of fresh-stock 

 goods come on continually 

 from our factory. The capacity 

 of our river-front warehouse is 

 about twenty carloads. Orders 

 for special-sized goods may be 

 sent here— and we will order 

 same from our factory to be 

 shipped in car to New York and 

 we will re-ship from here, thus 

 saving an item on your freight 

 charges. "When ordering goods, 

 be specific. Try to use our 

 "KEY TAIiLE" as much as 

 possible in specifying hives or 

 parts of hives ordered. If not 

 familiar or uncertain of articles 

 ordered or letters representing 

 some of our goods, give illustra- 

 tion and page number. : : 



Shipping Facilities. 



Insure yourself of quick de- 

 livery by sending your orders 

 to New York. Here is the 

 terminal of nearly all railroads 

 — north, west, south, and the 

 main steamspip lines whereby 

 we can ship goods direct to you 

 without change or delay. All 

 express companies call at our 

 warehouse daily, thus assisting 

 us in serving you. Our facili- 

 ties for shipping by freight, ex- 

 press, and boat are truly unex- 

 celled. Avail yourself of this 

 opportunity of quick delivery 

 and low shipping charges which 

 you certainly will obtain by 

 ordering your goods of the 

 New York Branch of The A. I. 

 Root Co. : : : : 



Packing. 



We do not charge for packing, 

 boxing, or delivering to freight 

 offices in New York or Hoboken, 

 N. J. We do not prepay any 

 charges unless goods are to be 

 delivered to a prepaid station, 

 as all our prices and quotations 

 are F. O. B. New York. 1 f no 

 agent at your station, notify us 

 and we will prepay, and bill 

 charges after shipment. Often 

 during the busy season much 

 time can be saved by ordering 

 small shipments sent by ex- 

 press. Your local agent will 

 tell you about what charges 

 win be from New York. : 



Careful Attention and Prompt Service is Our Aim. We Try to Ship Mail and Express Orders 

 the Day They are Received. Freight Orders are Filled in Order of Receipt. No 

 Order is too Small or Large tor Our Personal Attention. 



OUR LOCATION.— We are located on 

 6th floor of the Evening Post Building, 

 20-24 Vesey St., in the downtown district. 

 Our office is convenient to surface, sub- 

 way, and elevated stations and to all 

 downtown ferries. Here you will find 

 well-fitted display rooms, with complete 

 line of supplies, booklets, etc., always 

 on exhibition, and our manager or at- 

 tendant always present to explain our 

 appliances and discuss the subject of bee- 

 keeping. You and your friends are 

 always welcome. 



REMITTANCES.— Remittance with 

 orders should be made by draft, check, 

 postal money order, express money 

 order, or stamps. Do not remit in 

 currency or coin, unless registered, 

 as it often goes astray. We do not 

 care to ship C. O. D. 



Order your supplies early. 

 Do not wait until you are 

 in a rush for them. Order 

 now. We want your ac- 

 quaintance. 



Our Manager at the New York branch is thoroughly familiar with every 

 appliance required for successful bee-keeping. His knowledge of outfits 

 for beginners will be found especially beneficial to suburbanites who may 

 want to engage in bee-keeping on a large or small scale. You will find him 

 always willing and ready to make his services of value to whoever seeks his 

 assistance. 



Export Orders. — We pay especial attention to all orders for export. For the use 

 of foreign customers we can furnish catalogs in Spanish and French.
