HiLDRETH & SEGELKEN. 



Cincinnati. Oct. 18. — The demand for 

 both extracted and comb honey is not up to 

 expectations by far for this time of the year. 

 Big buyers refuse to pay the prices we must 

 ask. and we fear that it will be a case 

 of a small business or lower prices, and 

 owing to the high prices we have paid it 

 will be impossible for us to lower our price. 

 We are selling strictly fancy comb honey at 

 I4@i6jic a lb., according to the quantity and 

 quality purchased; amber comb honey is 

 not wanted at any price. What little is sold 



of fancy extracted honey in 60-pound cans 

 we are gettinK8@ioc a lb., while amber honey 

 in barrels we are selling at 5?8@7C. accord- 

 ing to the grade and quantity purchased. 

 There is plenty of beeswax, and the prices 

 are much easier than they have been for 

 sometime. We are paying 28c a lb. deliver- 

 ed here for choice, bright yellow beeswax. 

 The Fred W. Muth Co. 



San Francisco. Oct. 18 —The demand for 

 comb honey is still beyond the supply, and 

 fancy and No. I still very limited, and what 

 arrives is soon taken up. Extracted honey 

 is somewhat easier, and several carloads 

 have been upon the market, and the water 

 white and lighter grades have found ready 

 buyers. Fancy white comb. i6@'i7c; dark to 

 amber, n'iOisc per lb.; river comb. Iif*i2'ic 

 per lb. Water-white extracted. 8@8}ic: light 

 amber. 7j4®8c; amber. 6@7/5c: lower grades.

 yellow wax. 23@'2fic for the darker grades.

The Best Time 



To Buy Supplies 



THE season just past has demonstrated more clearly than ever the necessity for being prepared for a 

 honey-flow BEFORE it comes. If you wait until the season is upon you, the chances are that the greater 

 part of the crop will be lost while you are impatiently waiting for supplies to arrive. It may seem a 

 little early now to think of next season's honey harvest; but the fact of the matter is, this is just the time to 

 order goods for next season. 



We are beginning now to replenish our stocks. We shall have carload orders coming from the factory 

 very often for the next few weeks. Special orders placed now can have just the attention they need, both here 

 and at the factory, and you may have your goods sent in one of our cars, thereby saving on transportation 

 cliarges. Regular stock will come straight fo you from our warehouse in unbroken packages, and you can 

 put the goods together in your odd minutes, thereby saving the expense of extra help in the spring. 



Our usual discounts for early orders apply again this season — six percent for cash orders sent in Octo- 

 ber, the discount diminishing one per cent per month as the season advances. These discounts mean a con- 

 siderable saving, and you might as well take advantage of the highest by ordering now. No change of prices 

 as yet has been announced, and you may, therefore order from your present catalog. If your catalog has been 

 mislaid, write us at once and we will send another. 



If your season's crop of honey is not yet disposed of, we can give you a good price and handle it 

 promptly. Send samples of extracted and full information as to containers, flavor, cjuantity, price, etc. We 

 also handle comb honey.
