■THE EEE-I'EEPERS' REVIEW 



369 



averafje of a shilling a pound for ex- 

 tracted, and twenty cents for comb. 

 ]\Iy honey is all sold, and I could sell 

 20,000 pounds more this winter, if I had 

 the kind that I produce. I damag-ed 

 my honey trade twice in buying- honej'. 

 One lot was a fine grade of alfalfa, 

 but there were flies in some of the 

 cans, and I had to strain all of it. One 

 lot was from southern Texas, and half 

 of it was not fit to eat. There is lots 

 of comb hone}' shipped in here on 

 which the g^rocers lose monej'. 



I sell, at the prices named, direct to 

 the retailer, and what I have done, 

 anybody' can do, if he only knew mj' 

 sene/. I would like to tell the readers 

 of the Review that secret if I thought 

 they would profit by it. I'm afraid 

 the}' won't, at least a great many 

 won't, so what's the use. T will sa3% 

 however, that there is realU' no great 

 secret about it g-ood honej', honesty 

 and push — that's all there is to it.
