TO BEE-KEEPERS. 



Send us your P. O. address and we will 

 send you (free) a sample of a new wrapper 

 that takes the place of glass on honey-sec- 

 tions. 



Is attractive, light-looking, and consumers 

 do not think about paying for the weight as 

 they do with glass. 



Costs about 5c a pound, and pays you 

 double and triple cost in weight, when you 

 sell your honej . The greatest protection in 

 shipping honey, as it is so constructed that 

 it keeps the sections from sticking fast to 

 the bottom of the case, and from lioney leak- 

 ing as it commonly does
