Kd. Am. Bek Ki:kper', Dear Sir: — 

 I Would offer the following; suggeblioiis 

 to bee keepers as lo the best way to 

 get the iijdsl out of extracted honey : 

 Put it up in small packages and urge 

 sale and consumption in your vicinity 

 which you can do il' you begin early 

 in the season. You can put your 

 honey in small sized jjuckages and dis- 

 pose ol' it as well as bottlers in the 

 city can. Peoj)le in country tiwus 

 appreciate the value of honey better 

 than people in the city do, who know 

 very little about how honey is produc- 

 ed and are suspicious and think all 

 extracted honey is adulterated, especi- 

 ally so after it becomes granulated. 



If you have a large crop of extract 

 ed honey I would not advise putting 

 all in small packages, but [)ut it up 

 that way as fa<t as you can sell it and 

 the balauce in 160 pound kegs and 

 send it to the city market to be sold 

 to nianufacfureis and Polish Jew 

 trade, these two being the largest con- 

 sumers of honey outside the bottlers. 



We notice a sniall size glass jar on 

 the market that helds a half pound of 

 hooey. It is quickly hiied and simply 

 sealed so it don't leak as all screw top 

 jars do when turheil sideways. These 

 jars cost about 2c when filled. They 

 can be sold at the popular price of lUc 

 to the consumer, which is e(jual to 

 about 15c per pound, and sell at whole- 

 sale for f 1.00 per dozen. For ship- 

 ping tliey come packed two dozen in a 

 racked case, and make a very attract- 



ive shipping case. If anyone wishes 

 any further details I will be pleased 

 to answer any inquiry as to where one 

 can procure these packages. 



Yours Respectfully, 



H. R. Wright.

 Gentlenien: — I am about to make an 

 exhibit of bees and honey at the ('uya- 

 hoga fair to be held in Chagrin Falls, 

 O.. on Sept. 22d to the 25th, and as I 

 wish to exhibit one of your Chaut. 

 hives and have none on hand I enclose 

 an order for one. For several years 

 I have taken first premiums with the 

 Chautauqua hive, and consider it the 

 best in the world for all purposes. 

 We have wintered on out-door stands 

 and have never lost a colony in one. 

 Some of them have been in use over 

 ten years. * * * J. B. Hains.
