Our trade was never so large in 

 these as now; and commission men 

 tell us that comb honey in our cases 

 brings Better Prices than some of the 

 cases made by competitors. The fact 

 is, we know the demands of the 

 trade, and are prepared to supply 

 them. Remember, home-made or 

 poorly made cases are dear at any 

 price. Honey in such cases always 

 brings several cents below the mar- 

 ket price.
