Admirable Advice to Advertisers 

 from "Agricultural Adver- 

 tising." 



Business men can not learn too much 

 about advertising-. If you are too busy 

 with other branches to attend to your 

 advertisings yourself, the more you 

 know about advertising and its meth- 

 ods and results the better you will be 

 able to judge the ability of the adver- 

 tising man you employ, and the results 

 of his work. — The Ad Writer. 



Profit from advertising depends not 

 so much upon the number of inquiries 

 received as upon the way in which they 

 are handled. A hundred inquiries 

 properly followed up are often of more 

 value than a thousand replies which 

 receive no more attention than the 

 mere sending of a booklet, often a poor 

 one at that. — Advertising Experience. 



Possibly the best way to place the 

 good qualities of your stock before the 

 public is to get up a neat pamphlet 

 containing sufficient useful informa- 

 tion about the stock j-ou are breeding 

 to make it desirable to intending pur- 

 chasers. This booklet is advertised, 

 and either offered free or a slight 

 charge is placed upon it to cover pos- 

 tage, which keeps away the simplj' 

 curious. In such a book much more 

 can be said and more cheaply than by 

 writing letters. — E. J. W. DsiTZ. 



You wouldn't expect to plant a seed, 

 never go near it again and expect it to 

 bear fruit. Yet that's the way a great 

 many people do advertising — simply 

 put in the first copy that comes to 

 them, run it week after week without 

 change, and expect it to accomplish 

 more than all the salesmen. Adver- 

 tising properlj' done will work wonders 

 in a business-bringing way, but, like a 

 growing plant, it requires careful at- 

 tention.— The Wheel.

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



CiiiCAfio, July 7. — Some new white comb 

 honey is selli ng at ISc; not much »^iiTered ant! 

 not much demand for it. Extracted is slow 

 sale; best while, 7to7J^c; best amber, (>%('i(>^c; 

 dark amber, 5«' si^c. Beeswax, 27(n>Z'-;c. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati, July 2— This market is com- 

 pletely bare of corab honey. The demand for 

 extracted honey is good. Several good t-hip- 

 ments of extracted honey from Mississippi and 

 Arkansas have arrived and found a ready sale at 

 6i^@'7l^c. No white clover honey on the market; 

 same would bring about Sc. Beeswax, 2S<a'2hc. 

 C. H. W. Weber, 2140 Central Ave. 



Kansas City, June20.— Wequote: No. 1 white 

 comb, 14(tt',l5c; No. 1 amber, 13'aUc; No. 2 white 

 and amber, 13((i^l3?^c. Extracted, white, 7^(a*Sc; 

 amber, 7c. No beeswax in the market. 



We have a shipment of new comb honey in 

 transit from Florida. The supply of old corab 

 honey is very light, mostly candied. 



C, C. Clemons & Co. 



Detroit, May 24.— Fancy white comb, 15(ai6c; 

 No. 1, white, 'i4<h'15c; amber and dark, 10(iil2c, 

 Extracted, white, 7c; amber and dark, 5<a,bc. 

 Beeswax, 25^2oc. 



Supply and demand for honev both limited. 

 M. R'. Hunt & Son. 



New York, May 21.— Our market is practi- 

 cally bare of comb honey, and there is a good 

 demand for white at from 13^15c per pound, ac- 

 cording lo ([uality and style of package. The 

 market on extracted is rather quiet, and inact- 

 ive. New crop is slow in coming in, and prices 

 have not yet been establisht. Beeswax holds 

 firm at 27(gj2Sc. Hildreth & Segelken. 



San Francisco, June 6.— White comb, H^@ 

 12Mc; amber, 8 @ 10c. Extracted, white, OJ^ra 7c. 

 light amber, OCa^o^c; amber, S@55^c; Beeswax, 

 26(ai27c. 



There is not much honey on market, either 

 old or new. Small quantities of new corab and 

 extracted are going to local trade at compara- 

 tively stiff values. In some instances, espe- 

 cially for corab, an advance on best figures 

 warranted as a quotation are being realized. To 

 secure export orders, however, of anything like 

 wholesale proportions, prices above noted would 

 have to be materially shaded.

 this line, and would like to hear from all who 

 have such goods to sell in any part of the coun-
