clearly how the jar is sealed. The rubber ring 

 between the rim of the glass top and tht 

 shoulder in the opening of the jar"s mouth 

 with the pressure exerted by the spring 

 the center of the to]), makes a perfect sea 

 with continuous pressure, because of thi 



These jars were designed for use in the honey 

 exhibit at the Pan-American Exposition in liuf- 

 falo, and are very neat and attractive. They have 

 cork-lined aluminum caps which seal them tight. 

 The fact that the molds are constructed for mak- 

 ing the jars by hand instead of by machine, and 

 the addition of tl'.e aluminum caps, makes the jars 



somewhat more expensive tnan the oru.uaiv jars. 

 They are made in four sizes square and three sizes 

 round, as shown in the illustration. \\ e can sup- 

 '•■ly them either fxom Medina or from Philadelphia 

 at the folUowing prices: 



1/4 lb. square Her. jars, doz., 50c; $ 5.40 per gr. 

 i/i. lb. snuare Her. jars, doz., 55c; 6.00 jier gr. 

 r lb. sipiare Her. iar-. doz.. Mic. 9.(10 iier gr. 



2 lb. square Her. jars, doz., 1.00 10.80 per gr. 

 '/2 lb rouHu Her. jars, doz., 60c; G.60 per gr. 



1 lb. round Her. jars, aoz., /5c; 8.40 per gr. 



2 lb. round Her. jars, doz., 1.10 12.00 per gr. 

 These prices, although rather high in compari- 

 son with other jars, are as low as can be made on 

 hand-made jars, and afford us a smaller margin o{ 

 profit than other styles. 



TIP TOP HONEY-BOTTLES OR .l.\I<S. 

 We believe many bee keepers will be interested 

 in a honey-jar with spring-top fastener which we 

 show here. The following illustrations show very 



spring of the metal clasp. With this kind < 

 a fastening the jar is very quickly sealed- 

 mi ire quickly and securely than with a rin 

 1 he cover fits down in so neatly that, i 

 Older to remove, you may have to insert tl 

 end of the spring under the edge to pry it ou 



There is a great variety of bottles and ja 

 of numerous sizes made with this kind 

 fastening. Even the one and two poui 

 square honey jars may be had with this f: 

 tenin™ at an additional cost of 75 cents p 

 gross over those with a cork. \\"e show he 

 two styles which seem best adapted for ho 

 ey. The round tapering jar is the one we ci 

 Tip Ton. We can supply those in two siz 

 — %lb. at $4.50 per gross, and the 1 lb jar 

 $5.00 per gross. Put up in partition cas 

 of 2 dozen each. $1.00 per gross extra. 



Tlie octagon jar we will not keep in stoc 

 but can ship from the factory in Ohio 

 $o.(M) per gross for the 1-lb. size. Wi» 

 supply this to hold 3-4 lb. or 14 oz. Orde 

 should be for at least 5 gross at a time. T 

 Ti]) Top is a little scant measure, the 1 

 size holding 15 oz. and the half-pound abo 

 TVi oz., actual weight of noney. The jars m 

 be" used for fruit or preserves or pickles aft 

 they are emptied of honey, which fact adds 

 their value as a honey-iar.
