Extracted Honey For Sale ! 



We can furnish Basswood Extracted Honey, in 60-pound tin cans, on 

 board cars in Chicago, at these prices : 1 can, in a case, 8 cents per pound ; 2 cans 

 in one case, 7K cents ; 4 cans (2 cases) or more, TJi cents; or in kegs holding 

 about 275 lbs., net, at 7 cents. Cash must accompany each order. 



pg~ A sample of the honey will be mailed to an intending purchaser, for 10 

 cents, to cover postage, packing, etc. We guarantee purity, and what we ship will 

 be equal to sample. 



Now it seems to us here is a splendid chance for any bee-keeper to supply his 

 home demand after his own crop is all sold. Or, why not begin now to create a 

 local honey-trade ? Order one 60-pound can first, and start out among your neigh- 

 bors and friends, and see what you can do. You ought to get at least 15 cents per 

 pound in 5-pound lots, or 50 cents for 3 pounds. Some may be able to do even 

 better than that, though we think that enough ought to be sold at these prices to 

 make a fairly paying business out of it. Give it a good trial. Push it. It may 

 grow into a nice winter's work for yon.

Packages for marketing Comb 

 and Extracted Honey. 



Query 34.— 1. What size and style of ship- 

 ping-cases do you prefer for marketing comb 

 honey ? 



2. What size and style of package do you 

 find best for extracted honey ?— lowA. 



W. L. Larrabee — 1. 20-lb. single tier. 

 2. 60-lb. cans. 



G. M. Doolittle — 1. "Prize " shipping- 

 case, holding 20 one-pound sections. 2. 

 150-lb. kegs. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — 1. 12-lb. cases. 2. 

 I sell but a limited amount of extracted ; 

 quart Mason jars. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — 1. A case not too 

 heavy for one man to handle easily. 2. 

 Jacketed five-gallon cans. 



E. L. Taylor — 1. I use one that holds 

 14 ordinary 7-to-the-foot sections, with 

 a 2-inch strip of glass in one end. 



C. H. Dibbern— 1. Cases holding 24 to 

 32 4:iix4:}i sections, single tier, with 

 one side glassed. 2. Tin lard-pails. 



P. H. Elwood — 1. A two-dozen siugle- 

 tier section-case. 2. Tin pails for the 

 market ; barrels for the wholesale trade. 



Rev. E. T. Abbott— 1. 24-lb. single- 

 tier. 2. Muth's honey-jars. Something 

 else might be better in other localities. 

 It all depends upon the market. 



E. France — 2. We use a barrel that 

 holds 360 pounds of honey. We have 

 tried 500-pound barrels, but don't like 

 them ; they are too heavy to handle. 



Rev. M. Mahin — 1. I have never 

 shipped comb honey. 2. I have shipped 

 extracted honey only in small lots in tin 

 cans holding from one to four gallons. 



Chas. Dadant & Son — 1. One story 

 24-section cases, glassed on one side. 2. 

 Tin cans or pails from 2-lbs. up to 60. 

 The 5-lb. package sells the most honey. 



Dr. C. C. Miller — 1. A case holding 

 12 sections, glass on one side, three sec- 

 tions showing. Also a case of the same 

 kind, double as high, holding 24 sections.

 ping-cases, to hold 28 7-to-the-foot or 

 24 2-inch sections. 2. 60-pound cans 

 for wholesale, and Mason fruit jars for 

 retail. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — 1. I prefer small 

 cases holding not over 24 pounds ; 12- 

 lb. cases still better. 2. I use self-seal- 

 ing jars — one and two quarts — for home 

 market. 



J. M. Hambaugh — 1. 12-lb-cases, 

 glassed on two sides. 2. The two square 

 tin cans to the case, making 120 pounds. 

 I believe cans that would hold 50 or 100 

 pounds to the case would be preferable. 



J. A. Green — 1. For shipping to a dis- 

 tant market, 12-section oases. For sup- 

 plying retailers near home, 24-section 

 cases, single-tier, four sections long, six 

 wide, glassed on one side. 2. For my 

 wholesale trade, barrels. For retailing, 

 pint Mason jars. 



G. W. Demaree — 1. I prefer a crate 

 with glass on one side, that will hold 24 

 sections. 2. I have realized better prices 

 for my honey taken with the extractor 

 by shipping in tin buckets with the lids
