RASPBERRY HONEY 



My brother and myself have five apiaries in the wild-red-rasp- 

 berry region of Northern Michigan where we are harvesting a 

 crop of unusually fine quality. Not a pound is extracted until it 

 has been thoroughly ripened and sealed over, and it is thick, 

 rich, and delicious. We are putting it up in bright nrzv 60-lb. 

 tin cans, two in a case (the ends of the cases are bound with 

 hoop i on to protect them in shipment), and ortering it at ten 

 cents a pound — $12 00 for a case of two cans. To some this may 

 seem a trifle h'gh in price; but it must be remembered that it 

 costs more to produce such honey as this, and it is worth more ; 



besides, to a certain extent it is a novelty. It is raspberry hon- 

 ey — a honey with a flavor all its own — a flavor that smacks of 

 the wild red raspberry of the woods. It is the honey that won 

 the gild medal at the Jamestown Exposition against all other 

 honeys from all over the United States. The dealer who builds 

 up a trade for this honey can hold it against all odds. 



If not acquainted with this honey, send me ten cents and I'll 

 mail you a generous sample, and the ten cents may apply on the 

 first order that you send.
