50,000 Copies "Honey as a Healtti-Food" 

 To Help Increase the Demand for Honey 



We have had printed an edition of over 50.000 copies of the 16-paee pamphlet on 

 Honey as a Health-Food." It is envelope size, and just the thing to create a local demand 

 tor honey. 



The first part of it contains a short article on " Honey as Food." written by Dr. C. C. 

 Miller. It tells where to keep honey, how to liquefy it. etc. The last is devoted to "Honey 

 Cooking Recipes" and "Remedies Using Honey." It should be widely circulated by those 

 selling honey. The more the people are educated on the value and uses of honey as a food, 

 the more honey they will buy. 



Prices, prepaid— Sample copy for a 2-cent stamp : 50 copies for 90 cents ; 100 copies for 

 $1.50; 250 copies for $3.00 : 500 for $5.00 ; or 1000 for $9.00. Your business card printed free at the 

 bottom of front page on all orders for 100 or more copies.
