ADVANCES IN PRICES DURING THE 

 MONTH, ETC. 



Glass has "gone up" the worst of any one thing. 

 In fact, it is making mischief wherever glass enters 

 at all. Glass that was sold a year ago for $2.00 per 

 box, is now worth $5.00 per box. In consequence of 

 this, I have had to raise the price of the crate for our 

 story and a half hive, and of all our cases for comb 

 honey. Tin has come back a little, but the very 

 thin taggers tin that we were so much pleased with 

 for separators has remained up, so that we have 

 had to drop it. In its place we use I C roofing, coke 

 wasters, that we sell at $7.50 per box of 212 sheets 

 14x20. Extractor tin is worth $12.00 for sheets of 

 same size. Nails have gone up and gone down; by 

 purchasing in ton lots, we are now prepared to 

 furnish them at factory prices, to those who buy by 

 the keg of 100 lbs. lly doing this, we have been en- 

 abled to furnish some of the sizes of wire nails even 

 lower than we did last fall. Many of our supplies 

 we have been enabled to lessen in price, even during 

 the recent great advances, by purchasing directly 

 from the makers, and in large lots. We print a new 

 edition of our price list almost every month, and 

 will send a new one at any time, on application. 

 The new goods that have been added to the counter 

 department during the past month are given below, 

 but for a full list of the counter goods, fully illus- 

 trated, with latest prices, see our price list mention- 

 ed above. When, in the January No., I mapped out 

 the outlines of useful articles for a small 

 amount of money, I did not dream that, in a few 

 short mouths, it could possibly grow to its present 

 proportions.
