Screw-top Pail. 



Nos. 775 to 778. 



Above we present our three staple styles of 

 glass honey-packages for this season. We are un- 

 able to get any more of the screw-top glass pails, 

 shown in our catalogue, such as we have been sell- 

 ing for a number of years, and we have substitut- 

 ed in its place the one shown in the center above. 

 We have this made specially for our trade, and no 

 one else handles it. The following revised table of 

 prices takes tbe place of those in our catalogue. 

 Please notice important changes, and please be 

 careful to be specific in telling what you want when 

 you order. Give the quantity, number, name, and 

 price, to avoid mistakes. 



TABLE OF PRICES— NO CHARGE FOR PACKAGES.

 1-lb. Oaken Bucket pail 16 oz. 



In lot of 5 barrels, any one or assorted kinds, 5% 

 discount. Please notice these points in the table 

 above. 



1. The capacity as given is what each will hold, 

 well filled with honey of good consistency. 



2. The price of one, 10, and 100 is given in the first 

 three columns; the fourth column gives the num- 

 ber in a barrel, and the oth column the price of a 

 barrel. 



3. Notice that it is much the most economical to 

 buy them in barrel lots, if you can use so many. 

 The reason for this is, that all manufactures of 

 glassware have a uniform charge for packages, 

 and a barrel has the largest capacity for the price 

 of any thing used. Every barrel, large or small, 

 costs us 35 cts.; a box, holding only half as much, 

 costs the same. Thus by taking the largest barrels, 

 well filled, we can give you the most value for the 

 money. 



4. We ran not break packages of 100 or barrels at the 

 pri<e of a full package. 



5. The most skilled packers are employed, and 

 goods are delivered to transportation companies in 

 trood order; we will not, therefore, be responsible 

 for any breakage. 



Send your orders early, while we have plenty of 

 stock and can maintain above prices.
