20th Century Shipping-Cases 



" For several years back, both producers and 

 buyers of comb honey have been gradually coming to 

 the conviction that stronger and better shipping-cases 

 are demanded by the trade; and that the policy of 

 buying the cheapest shipping-cases that can be ob- 

 tained, or, worse still, having them made at some 

 local planing-mill, would, if continued, ultimately kill 

 the comb-honey business, leaving the field exclusively 

 to extracted honey or bulk or chunk honey. The very 

 fact that comb-honey producers have been changing 

 over to the production of extracted honey, that ex- 



tracted honey is constantly coming nearer and nearer 

 to the price of comb honey, and that some comb- 

 honey buyers are refusing to take comb honey any 

 more, shows only too plainly that the comb-honey 

 business is doomed unless saner and safer methods 

 are used for shipping the product: and, furthermore, 

 there are not a few evidences to show that transpor- 

 tation companies are liable to advance the rates on 

 comb honey. Taking all these things into considera- 

 tion, the movement toward saner rnethods of shipping 

 so fragile a commodity has begun none too soon." 



The above is a reprint from Gleaning'S in Bee Culture and a part of a circular we have prepared on 



Modern Methods of Shipping, by Which a Large Part of 

 the Leakage and Breakage of Combs will be Eliminated 



Every comh-lioney producer or shipper ought to read this circular and become familiar with the 20th 

 Century Shipping-Cases therein described. These cases — single and double tier — will be furnished at the 

 following prices : 



12-lb. safety case for 4 '4 xljli sections 25 



24-lb. safety case for four rows, 4,Uxl% sections. . 

 24-lb. safety case, double tier, for 4'4xl% sections. 

 12-lb. safety case for -i'ixl'A sections 



24-lb. safety case for four rows of 4Xx4Xxl>^ sections 40 



24-lb. safety case, double tier, for 4,'4xlK sections 



12-lb. safety case for 4.\.')xl% sections 



24-lb. safety case for four rows of 4x5x1 Ji sections 



These cases will be furnished with two-inch glass, and not with three-inch. If preferred, a wooden slide can 

 be used in place of the glass. For the present we will furnish these cases for only three sizes of sections — the 

 4^x4 Xxl^ beeway, 4Xx4,'4xl^ plain, and 4x5x1^ plain. A special carton must be made for each size of sec- 

 tion used ; and as these are the sections in common use we will not, for the present, supply other sizes. The 

 price of each style of case will be the same for each size of plain section, and a little more for the beeway, as it 

 is larger. 



Cases include nails, glass, carton for each section, corrugated paper for top, bottom, and both ends, and 

 in the double-tier case a sheet between the top and bottom tiers, also paper for tray in bottom.
