Reasons for the Price 



OF MY 



Raspberry Honey. 



I ask ten cents a pound for my raspberry honey. This is 

 slightly above the market price, but there are reasons. 



In the first 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 raspberry of the woods. 



Another most important reason why I should get a good price 

 for my honey is the manner in which it is produced. 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 no other way. 



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



and it is worth more than the ordinary honey; just as big North 

 em Spy apples, streaked with crimson and filled with juicy spici 

 ness, are worth more than ordinary fruit. 



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

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

 they will bear shipment; iu fact, I 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 price 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 ril mail you a generous sample, and the ten cents may ap- 

 ply on the first order that you send.
