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 sohl don't fail to send somewhi-re else for more, 

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

 quantity of the Best White Alfalfa Honey in new Oti- 

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

 at the following prices: 



One box of 'J cans (12(t pounds of honey) at lU cents per 

 pound ; '1 or more cans, at il-'^ 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 fine Alfalfa 

 honey, for it is " licking good." 



We have a lot of Second-Hand .^-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 

 m various size crates, and, in lots of 2.j cans, will let then) 

 go at $'J..']0, or 10 cents each, f. o. b. Chicago. If wanted '1 

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

 more l)oxes at 30 cents a bo.x, so long as tliey 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.

 producing plants is exceptionally fine. 

 Every bee-keeper should have it in his 

 library. It hasri44 pages, and 29-5 illus- 

 trations. Bound in cloth. Price, post-
