THE BEE-KEEPERS REVlEv^, 



An Unsolicited Testimonial. 



The following editorial appears in the Bee-Keepers' Review for August ; and, although 

 the NO-DRIP SHIPPING CASE idea is old, we believe we were the first to bring it promi- 

 nently before the public. We introduced it in the summer of ISiXi. Well, now read what 

 the editor of the Review says : 



" Shipping-cases of the no-drip style are decidedly superior to the old style in which the honey_ 

 if any drips from the combs, and this very freqaently happens, runs out through the bottom of the 

 case and daubs the top of the under case. Dirt and dust stick to this honey, and give the cases a 

 very untidy appearance. The no drip case prevents all this. I used 250 cases last year and carted 

 them around to five State fairs, and only those who have been through such experiences with the old 

 style of case know the comfort experienced in handling dry, clean cases at all times. If any one ex- 

 periences any trouble in folding up the paper tray that goes in the bottom, let him make a board 

 about ^8 of an inch, or a trifle more, smaller than the inside of the case. Place the sheet of paper on 

 top of the case, lay on the board, anil then gently press down upon the board, forcing the paper to 

 the bottom of the case. A nail driven into the upper side of the board will furnish a handle for re- 

 moving the board. The lower corners of the board may need rounding off to prevent puncturing the 

 paper, It may require a little patience and practice to get the board just right and to learn how to 

 use it, but the neatness and dispatch that follow will amply repay the trouble." 



Do we make the NO-DKIP SHIPPING CASE 1 Of course we do. Send us a trial order, 

 and try your honey in them on the market. If you do not have some pleased customers, 

 we shall be surprised.
