MY DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE 



EVER SINCE I was a little boy at Leon Spring's, Texas, I was wishing to be a bee-keeper: but my 

 few colonies would not increase fast enough to suit me, so I j-tarted to take orders for The A. I. 

 Root Company, until gradually I managed to keep a tmall stock of supplies, in connection with the 

 bees. Year after year my bees increased, and tne supply trade became more extensive, although I 

 was only a boy under age. Many times duting a honey-flow I would tal\e a bee- journal and a lantern 

 in the evening after supper, sit on a bee-hive in my apiary where all the bees were hummitg and the 

 sweet odor of the wax-working bees would surround me, and read until midnight. Although a boy, I began 

 to order supplies in carload lots. I found it necessary to move to a city, and chose San Antonio. Here I 

 had the best of shipping facilities, but year after year the supply business increased so that I could not fill 

 orders as fast as they came in. Many times I would wish in my dreams that I had a large warehouse on 

 a railroad track, filled with supplies, and plenty of good help to take care of all the trade pi-omptly. So I 

 found it necessary to locate on a railread track, and in 1904 I bought a place of business on the S. A. & A. P. 

 Railway, opposite the passenger depot, fronting South Flores Strttt, where I have a building 40x250 feet 

 filled to the brim with Root's supplies of every description — honey- cans, honey, and every thing in connec- 

 tion with this line of business I also installed a Weed New-process Foundation factory, where we can 

 make 500 pounds of comb foundation daily; have plenty of good help both in the office and warehouse, and 

 I am happy to say that the past season I have had no difficulty whatever to take care of all oiders p.omptly. 

 Do not forget when you come to San Antonio to be sure to make me a call. I have large office rooms 

 with plenty of desks and writing material, so when you come make yourself at home, do your corre.'^pondirg 

 from here, and read the bee journals. I have a reading-table with all the bee-journals bound, and at your disposal 

 HONEY-CANS. — Nearly every bea-keeper in Texas knows my high grade of honey cans and cases, so it 

 is needless to say any thing in this line except that I have a very large and complete stock, and am in a 

 position to ship promptly. 



The following are the standard honey- packages for Texas, made so by the Texas Bee-1 eepers' Association: 

 Prices f. o. b. San Antonio — 1 to 10 cases. 10 to 50 cases, 50 or more cases,

Yours very truly.
