Government Market Reports 



Beginning July 1st, we are informed 

 that under the direction of the Govern- 

 ment there will be issued a bulletin 

 giving the daily, weekly and monthly 

 market movements of honey. 



The bulletin will be very wide in 

 scope, as it will not only give the 

 movement of all carload shipments of 

 honey in all sections of the country as 

 well as the exports, but it will also give 

 the prices ranging in different cities on 

 carload sales. These are bound to be 

 accurate, as they will be taken from 

 the books of the merchants handling 

 such sales. 



We urge all our subscribers inter- 

 ested in selling their honey away from 

 home to get in touch with the Depart- 

 ment and get put on the list so that 

 they may get the bulletin referring to 

 honey movements. It is free to all 

 who apply. 



Not only will it be of service to 

 those who sell honey in carlots away 

 from home, but it will also help in de- 

 termining the prices which would pre- 

 vail in local sales of honey. 



A more complete summary of what 

 is to be undertaken will be given in 

 our next issue. 



lONEY LABElT 



Nothing is more inducive to 

 stimulate home sales of honey 

 than a good label, while a poor 

 label will detract much from an 

 otherwise salable article. 



Our new Honey Label cata- 

 log, just off the press, is up to- 

 date in every way, and contains 

 many different designs of labels, 

 some of which should be just to 

 your taste. 



Besides we list letter heads, 

 envelopes, stickers, the booklets, 

 " Facts About Honey," etc. 



Write for a copy of our label 

 catalog today. It is free. It con- 

 tains designs which wiU help you 

 in promoting locally your sales in 

 honey, both comb and extracted.
