GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



i HONEY LABELS 



There is nothing that adds more to the attractiveness of a 

 honey package than a neat label carefully worded and of the 

 proper style. The guarantee of purity by the producer put on 

 every package he offers for sale is the best protection he can get 

 from the stories of adulteration that injure the sale of his product. 



For glass packages a small label is generally preferred, while 

 for tin, one that laps around the package is considered best. We 

 supply both gummed and ungummed labels. We recommend the 

 ungummed, however, for they adhere more readily when pasted 

 on a package, and are not affected by changes in the atmosphere 

 as are the gummed. 



We give on the opposite page a few illustrations of some of 

 our stock patterns. These are printed, some of them in two or 

 more colors, some in bronze on glazed paper, and some in black on 

 glazed paper. To get a very adequate idea of these you ought to 

 see samples printed on regular label stock in the proper colors. 

 We have a catalog which shows just what we can furnish in this 

 line, and we shall be glad to send it on request. 



Just now we can give very prompt attention to orders for 

 this label work. We can furnish special labels too if you tell us 

 what you want. Of course the price is higher than for our regular 

 patterns ; but if you are buying them in very large quantities you 

 may want something to suit your individual tastes. Let us do 

 your label work for you, for we can guarantee satisfaction.
