Beekeepers, We are Ready! 



We are ready for the biggest year in the history of beekeeping — ready to serve the beekeepers of America 

 more promptly than ever, and with equally as good goods as ever. We have anticipated the beekeepers' 

 wants for the big coming year of 1918. The high price for honey, and the prosperity of most beekeepers 

 in 1917, led us to begin filling our big warehouses with beekeepers' necessities last fall. That's why we are 

 ready now. 



Don't Delay 



You beekeepers have never before had the promise of so prosperous a year as the one that lies before you. 

 Not only the high price of honey, but a patriotic duty urges you to produce every pound of honey possible 

 in 1918. To this end you should make sure of your supplies NOW. Freights are slow, and may be slower 

 by next spring. The freight congestion of the past season may be repeated in even worse degree. DON'T 

 be one of those beekeepers whose bees will have to wait on delayed shipments. 



Do This Today 



Send us today a list of your needs, and ask for our new beekeepers' supply catalog. We are ready to make 

 a close estimate, especially on the earliest orders. Don't wait — don't delay. Do it today. 

 Remember that we absolutely guarantee our goods to be manufactured perfectly of best material. As al- 

 ways, if in any instance our goods are not found to be exactly as represented by us, money will be re- 

 funded and all transportation cost paid by us. 



Order standard goods, if possible, and serve your own convenience by ordering either from us direct or 

 from the nearest Root service branch or agency.
