HONEY-JARS 



HONE 



HALF-POUND TUMBLERS 



There seems to be an increasing demand 

 for a cheap tumbler to put up a half- 

 pound of honey to retail at 10 cents. We 

 have secured a stock of such tumblers at 

 a price which enables us to offer them at 

 $4 per barrel of 24 dozen. This is less 

 than H.jC apiece. For less than barrel 

 lots we cannot repack them for less than 

 25c a dozen ; or we will put them up 4 

 dozen to the case with partitions ready to 

 reship when filled, at $1 a case; 10 case 

 lots at 95c. 



TIP-TOP HONEY-JARS 



This is a new-style jar sealed with rubber ring under rim of a glass 

 top held securely with spring-top fastener, This fastener is applied to 

 a great variety of bottles and jars used for different purposes. We 

 have selected two styles among them all as being most suitable for 

 honey. The one and two pound 6quare jars may be had with spring 

 top fastening instead of cork at 75c per gross extra. We can furnish 

 in two sizes. 



%-pound, 45c per dozen; gross, $4.50. 1-pound, 50c per dozen; 

 grossj $5. 



MASON FRUIT- JARS 



These are very largely used for canning fruit, and are often used 

 for honey as well. As we buy them by the car-load, we can make the 



following prices at Medina, all put up complete with porcelain-lined 

 caps and rubbers, in cases of one dozen :

 ring and tin screw-rim. Put up in re-shipping cases of 2 dozen each,
