SOME SPECIAL SEASONABLE SUPPLIES 



Five-Gallon Square Cans 



This is the favorite package for shipping extracted honey. 

 There ean be no shrinkage and consequent leakage, no taiut to the 

 honey as is often the case with wooden packages. The cans being 

 square, economize space and are easily boxed. 



As we have an overstock of cans for honey we make the fol- 

 lowing special prices on cans from Medina, to reduce stock. If 

 ordered from any of our branches or agencies east of the Missouri 

 River, add 5c a box or 50c per 100 cans to cover freight to those 

 points. 



In lots of 50 boxes or over we will furnish the 60-lb. cans, two 

 in a case, at 65c a box. 



Half'poiind Tumblers 



These are to supply the increasing demand for a cheap jar for 

 holding one-half pound honey and retailing for 10c. We can sup- 

 ply these tumblers at $4 a barrel holding 24 dozen. For less than 

 a barrel we will repack for 25c per dozen, or put them up 4 dozen 

 in a case ready to be reshipped when filled at SI per case; 10-case 

 lots at 95c. At present these are in stock only at Medina. 



No. •-».% Glass Jar 



This is a very neat, clear glass jar holding 1 pound of honey 

 We have sold this jar for years and in larger quantities than any 

 other. Put up in reshipping cases of 2 dozen each. Prices same 

 as the Simplex Jar. 



Simplex Jar 



The handsomest glass package on the market. Your honey in 

 this package will find a place among the finest novelties on the 

 grocery shelves. Create a demand for your honey by packing in 

 the best possible manner. 



We are now prepared to offer the Simplex and the No. 25 Jar 

 put up in partitioned reshipping cases of 2 dozen each at $1 per 

 case ; 10-case lots at 05c per case.
