SECOND HAND HONEY CANS. 



We have an accumulation of second-hand honey 

 cans which we offer for use again. We save only 

 such cans as are sound and fit to use again. A 

 poorer grade we sell for use with low-grade oils, 

 and the cans too poor for such use are destroyed. 

 The cans we offer for sale have been thoroly cleaned 

 outside but not inside. Just before filling they 

 should be steamed or scalded out. It is very difficult 

 to remove all moisture from square cans with the 

 small screw cap in the corners and unless it is re- 

 moved or the can is promptly refilled rust will form 

 inside, destroying its usefulness for honey. The 

 film of honey left in the can prevents rust iforming. 

 This can be removed just before cans are used again 

 without much trouble by using steam or boiling 

 water. Be careful also to run the washings into 

 a closed drain to guard against possible communica- 

 tion of foul brood. Tlie boxes also are put in good 

 condition. Our price for these second-hand cans, 

 2 in a box, is $8.00 for 10 boxes; 75c a box, in lots 

 of 25 or more. We will undertake to wash the 

 cans clean inside and di-y them at an extra price of 

 15c per case. The A. I. Root Co.
