Reasons for the Price 



OF MY 



Raspberry Honey. 



I ask ten cents :\ pound for my raspherry honey. This is 

 slightly above the market price, but there are reasons. 



In the tiist place, very little raspberry honey is produced. It is 

 a novelty — something out of the ordinary — like orange-blossom 

 honey for instance. 



In addition, it is of very superior quality; so much so that it 

 was awarded the gold medal, in competition with other honeys, 

 at the Jamestown Exposition. It has a flavor all its own — a 

 flavor that smacks of the wild red raspberiy of the woods. 



Another most important reason why 1 should get a good price 

 for my honey is the manner in which it is podiiced. It is left on 

 the hives for weeks after it is sealed over, and thus acquires that 

 finish, that smooth, oily richness, that thick, rich deliciousness 

 that can be obtained in m otner way. 



It costs more to produce such honey, there Is not so much of it, 



and it is worth nnre than the ordiniry honey, just as big North- 

 ern Spy apoles, streaked with crimson and filled with juicy spici- 

 ness, are worth more than oidinary fruit. 



As a finishing touch the honey is put up in bright new 60-lb. 

 tin cans, securely boxed, and tne boxes bound with iron so that 

 they will bear shipment; iu fact, 1 will guarantee safe arrival in 

 perfect condition. 



For a single 60-lb. can the price is $6.25; for two cans in a 

 case (120 pounds) the piice is $12.00 a case, regardless of the 

 number of cases that are taken. 



If you are not acquainted with this honey, send me ten cents 

 and I'll mail you a generous sample, and the ten cents may ap- 

 ply on the first order that you send.
