HONEY FOR SALE 



By the National Bee-Keepers' Association 



Beginning in September, we are arranging a card record of every member of 

 our Association who has honey for sale. This record will tell the amount of 

 honey he has, what kind, how put up, and the price f. o. b. his station. Buyers 

 who are in need of honey, whether in ton or car lots, will do well to write us 

 stating their wants. We will then refer you direct to the bee-keeper having what 

 vou want, and the deal will be made direct between vou and liim. 



NO CHARGE FOR THIS INFORMATION 



Not one cent will be charged you for this. Our object is to widen the distribu- 

 tion of honey, bring buyer and producer closer together, place each particular 

 kind of honey in the market that demands it, and thus assist the producer in 

 getting a better price. 



OTHER BENEFITS 



We have furnished our members, this year, with standard tin packages for ex- 

 tracted honey. Hundreds of dollars worth have been sold, and buyers are com- 

 ing back for their second and third orders. This tells you the satisfaction they 

 are giving. Are also handling glass packages.
