THE NEW ROOT-WEED 



COMB FOUNDATOIN 



More than 40 years ago, A. I. Root, while turning a clothes 

 wringer, conceived the idea of a comb-foundation "mill" making 

 practical the production of real comb foundation. 



About 25 years ago A. I. Root and his organization encour- 

 aged, assisted and financed the inventor of the celebrated Weed 

 Process of forming strong tough sheets of wax, as different from the 

 old process of "dipped" sheets as the finest steel is different from I 

 pig iron. 1 



And now, in the semi-centennial year of the Root organiza- 

 tion comes the most important announcement of all. 



After years of experimenting we are exceedingly pleased to 

 announce to our many friends and customers that we will in the 

 near future be able to supply a comb foundation made f 



NEARER TO NATURE 



I 

 A new process of Root- Weed Comb Foundation which 



we believe is one of the greatest improvements in comb foundation 



making that has ever been made. Our new process has to do with 



the refining of the wax and with the milling, resulting in a product 



more nearly resembling the natural mid-rib of the comb than any 



other foundation. . 



Before placing your orders for next season's supply write for 

 further particulars, sample and prices after Oct. 1. 



Our new process will be furnished only by ourselves and our 

 authorized dealers and representatives. I
