CALIFORNIA BEEKEEPERS 



Mistakes are expensive. The greater the experience, the fewer the mistakes. The A. I. 

 Root Co. has been in business for 50 years, and this long axperience prevents the mistakes 

 often made by the new manufacturer of beekeepers' supplies — mistakes that the beekeepers 

 indirectly have to pay for. 



For 50 years onr business has been that of manufacturing in large quantities high-grade 

 beekeepers' supplies. Believing that the best are the cheapest in the long run, we have 

 never made any other kind. There is no economy in buying an inaccurateily made hive, nor 

 one which will not bold its shape year after year whether it is left in one place or moved 

 from one locality to another. Bees are worth more and sell for a higher price whan in 

 standard hives. 



The Same Automatic Machinery in California 



Much of the same automatic machinery that has made Root supplies famous the world 

 over have been installed in California, thus insuring the same quality of workmanship in 

 Root Goods on the Pacific coast. 



In corah-foundation machinery alone no expense has been spared in putting in the big- 

 gest and best outfit that can be used for turning out the matchless quality of foundation for 

 which the Root factories are noted. Moreover, an entirely new method of refining the wax 

 and an entirely new design of the mill itself make possible a foundation never before e<jualled. 



See the New Honey-extractor 



The new extractor is a success and it is now being manufactured in (juantities. Ask 

 to have it demonstrated either at the factory, 1824 East 15th street, Los Angeles, or at tha 

 San Francisco branch, 52-54 Main street. Reversing at will without slowing down, and 

 as many times as desired; is a great time saver. Buy the best and you buy the cheapest.
