Root's Goods in Chicago 



The business for many j'ears conducted by George 

 W. York ft Co , at 1-14 Kast Erie Street, as agent for 

 The A. I. Root Company's supplies, is this day trans- 

 ferred to The A. I. Root Company to be conducted as 

 a Hranch Office. All outstanding accounts will be 

 paid George W. York & Co 



The policy of the Branch House will not be chang- 

 ed. We shall continue to serve the interests of bee- 

 keepers to the best of our ability, and to increase our 

 facilities whenever possible for such service. Mr. 

 York will still be in the same office with us, and the 

 benefit of his years of experience with this trade will 

 thus be available. 



Please note change of name to avoid confusion in 

 our work.

All orders, remittances, inquiries, etc., should be 

 addressed to The A. I. Root Company. Hi East Erie 

 Street, instead of George W. York & Co. 



Statement by Geo. MT. YorK (Sb Co. 



To Our Customt'ts and Pi iciids: 



In transferring back to The A. I. Root Company the 

 bee-supply business which we took over from them 

 some years ago. we do so with regret, as we have 

 labored hard to build up a large and honorable trade 

 in bee-appliances, and value beyond expression the 

 valuable patronage accorded us during the years. 

 We trust the same will be continued to our successors 

 in the business. 



Please note that this transfer does not in any w'se 

 afifect our publishing the American Bee Journal, or 

 handling bee-books and queens. But we expect from 

 now on to be able to devote more time to the Bee 

 Journal, as for years we have had "too many irjns in 

 the fire '' to give it the attention it requires.
