A STEP FORWARD TOWARDS SUCCESS! 



After carefully studying the demand of consumers and dealers, and se- 

 lecting of the many styles of packages for comb honey the very best and 

 the most attractive, we have now prepared an improved paper carton com- 

 bined with a comb-protector. Honey, put up in these packages, will be 

 bought in'preference to all others at highest market price. Our patent 

 comb-protector will prevent leakage and soiling of sections. Comb honey 

 can be easily and quickly put up in our cartons. These advantages and the 

 small cost of our cartons and comb-protector will save labor, time, money, 

 and honey. Strnhmeyer's patent comb-protectors require | inch of the in- 

 side height Of crates. Price list and sample carton sent free on application.
