Finest Basswood- 



Finest Sections 



The A. I. Root Company's portable saw mill at Medina cutting up basswood logs specially selected 

 by Root timber experts. The lumber for millions of sections is sawed annually by this mill. 



npHE best Comb Honey Sections are made where the best basswootl can be se- 

 -'- cured and when this best basswood is best cured and best dried. 



'^' ORTHERN Ohio's native forests were full of the finest basswood trees, and 

 •'■ ^ still have a large amount of this timber. Today there is also an abundance 

 of second-gTowth basswood — the whitest and toughest kind of basswood. 



^~\ UR own timber experts select the trees in the woods, insuring the highest 

 ^■^ quality of lumber. The logs are sawed by our own portable sawmill, or, 

 if too far distant from our plant, they are sawed by local mills and the lumber 

 hauled to our yards by the timber owners. 



T^HE boards are winter-sawed, then piled green and thoroughly air-dried. 

 -'- Later the lumber is stored under immense open sheds to thoroughly shrink 

 and cure before going into our saw I'ooms. This is the best possible drying 

 process. 



TN oui- saw rooms, only the best basswood boards arc selected for sections, 

 ■'■ and our si)ecially designed machines saw out the sections, dovetail them with 

 perfect smoothness, polish both sides, giving uniform thickness of a full eighth 

 inch, and shear cut our improved V-groove that guarantees rigid boxes and 

 least possible breakage. 



npHAT is the way ROOT "QUALITY" Sections are made, from tree to 

 A packing box — the best way all the way. Although we have a double shift 

 working on sections we are several cars behind orders, which fact indicates 

 that many beekeepers believe that ours are the best sections.
