Best White Alfalfa and 2d-Hand Cans 



Every bee-keeper should see to it that all who want 

 honey in his locality are able to get it. When your own 

 honey is all sold don't fail to send somewhere else for more, 

 and thus keep the local trade supplied. We have a larije 

 quantity of the Best White Alfalfa Honey in new (iO- 

 pound cans, two cans in a box, which we can ship promptly 

 at the following prices: 



One box of 2 cans (120 pounds of honey) at 10 cents per 

 pound ; 4 or more cans, at 9?^' cents per pound — all f. o. b. 

 Chicago. 



Better order at once, as this grade of honey is not at all 

 plentiful. Winter is just the best time to keep your local 

 customers well supplied. They will like this line Alfalfa 

 honey, for it is " licking good." 



We have a lot of Second-Hand 'j-gallon Tin Cans that 

 we have emptied ourselves, so we know they are clean and 

 good. They are all right to use again. We have them crated 

 in various size crates, and, in lots of 25 cans, will let them 

 go at $3. .50, or 10 cents each, f. o. b. Chicago. If wanted 2 

 empty cans in a box, we will furnish them in lots of 10 or 

 more boxes at 30 cents a box, so long as they last. 



In buying the crated second-hand cans the buyer can 

 make boxes for them if desired out of any odd lumber he 

 may have about his place. 



These cans certainly are a bargain. You can get them 

 now and keep them in a dry place until next season when 

 you will likely have need of them. We have a limited num- 

 ber of these second-hand cans, so you better order early.
