The business for many years conducted by George 

 W. York & Co., at 144 East 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 Branch 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 u«, and the 

 benefit of his years of experience with this trade will 

 thus be available.

 our work.

Statement by Geo. "W. YorK (Sl> Co. 



To Our Customers and Friends: 



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 wise 

 affect our publishing the American Bee Jouri al, 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 irons in 

 the fire " to give it the attention it requires.
