EXTRACTED HOXEY. 



No. 25 jar. It is self-sealing, somewhat on 

 the order of the Mason can. It is handsome 

 in appearance and cheap in price. These 

 are used very largely. 



Still another style of jar with a quick- 

 fastening top is known to the trade as the 

 Tiptop, as shown in the accompanying illus- 

 tration. In putting up honey in glass it is 

 important to have a 

 variety of packages, as 

 this helps to make a 

 display of honey in gro 

 eery windows. In all 

 ca^es it is desirable to 

 use a jar that can be 

 used for something else 

 when empty. For that 

 reason the Mason jars, 

 jelly - tumblers, and all 

 self - sealing packages, 

 have the advantage over 

 others using only corks, which may be lost. 



The styles of jars shown above were in- 

 troduced in 1908 and 1909. When a combi' 

 natii n of these different styles are used on 

 shelving, for exhibiting purposes, they help 

 to set off the honey in a general display, 

 See Exhibits elsewhere. 



"WILLI A3IS' STAND FOR SELLING EXTRACT- 

 ED HONEY. 



But one who does a large business in put- 

 ting up honey in glass should not confine 



himself strictly to one size or kind of pack- 

 age. For purposes of display at groceries 

 he should have an assortment of Muth bot- 

 tles. Mason jars, jelly-tumblers, and some 

 of the No. 25. An assortment of these can 

 be very tastily arranged in the grocery 

 show-window. Sometimes a little honey- 

 stand may be used to advantage. The one 

 shown above is the one that was used by 

 George F. Williams, of New Philadelphia, 

 Ohio. So much for glass packages. See 

 IIONEY, Peddling. 



TIN packages for HONEY. 



While cans holding i, i, i. 1, or up to 5 

 lbs., have been used for holding honey they 

 are not nearly as desirable as glass. Crystal- 

 white honey itself is beautiful, and to con- 

 ceal it from sight by tin and a fancy label is 

 a mistake. The purchaser of a small quan- 

 tity requires to see what he is buying ; and 

 when the tin package and the glass package 

 of equal size are put side by side on the 

 counter, it is quite gen- 

 erally admitted that tin 

 should not be used for 

 quantities less than 5 

 lbs., to say the least. 

 Above this size lard- 

 pails and nested pails 

 are used. The former 

 have sloping sides and 

 can be nested together 

 in so small a compass 

 that 100 7Hb. size can be put in a barrel; 

 but such pails are not adapted to shipping 

 extracted honey unless it is candied. See 

 Candied Honey. They do very well for 

 retailing around home and at local groceries. 

 The same is true of the nested pails below. 



SLOPING-SIDE 

 PAIL. 



A NEST OF FIVE RAISED-COVER PAILS. 



The smallest one holds a pint, and the larg- 

 est four quarts. One reason, perhaps, why 

 these pails are sold for the purpose in such 

 enormous quantities is, that they are of just 

 such sizes as to be extremely convenient for 

 household purposes. The pails sho^-n above 

 are short, so as to be handy for a little girl's 

 or boy's diimer-pail, or other like purposes. 

 Such a pail does not give the greatest econ- 

 omy of tin, however, nor is it suited for a 

 graduated measure like those next shown. 



The picture explains the great point in 

 their favor ; that is, that they will measure
