(inc of tlic best assets of our Inisiness. 

 This is simply our nietiiod of selling 

 iiecause the writer likes it. P.ut another 

 man would not he able to handle it be- 

 cause it would nt)t ajijieal to him. So

 markets, and when he has found the 

 best way for his own interests ,stay by

(Mr. Ilickox strikes a very important 

 ])oint in the above article, and that is, 

 if honey is consigned to a commission 

 man, that one should be selected who 

 handles honey in sufficient quantity to 

 warrant him in giving proper attention 

 t(i that liranch of his business. Many 

 times [ ha\'e seen comb honey piled up 

 in a commission house, amid such dirty 

 surroundings that one would • have to 

 be very much in need of honey to be 

 willing to pay the market price for it.]

"You'll never discover where you are 

 wrong if your attention is continually 

 devoted to the shortcomings of your 

 fellows. The job of minding your own 

 business, of mending your own faults
