 bee-smoker surprised iDee-keepers. The 

 Bingham Smoker patented improve- 

 ments are dated 1878, 1883, 1892, and 

 1908. They always please; they always 

 sell. For October orders we discount 6 

 per cent; any number, any size, deliv- 

 ered any time.

THIS IS THE MAN 



WHO HAS HANDLED ROOT'S GOODS ALL THESE YEARS 



and is now selling at wholesale and retail at Root's catalog prices. 

 He has carloads of the finest sections, of all kinds and sizes; the 

 Danzenbaker hive, the best single-walled comb-honey hive in use; 

 all kinds of single-walled hives shown in catalog, and supers that 

 match; the Hilton double- walled hive, of which more are used in 

 Michigan than any other. It has stood the test for thirty years. 

 We can't name them all, but send for his 36-page illustrated catalog, 

 and that will tell it all and give prices. Cash or goods in exchange 

 for beeswax at all times of the year. «^ >r »^ '^ »^
