THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



Bee-Keepers** Association will Furnish You 



Quality Cans 



At Wholesale Prices. Standard Sizes, 



I J ere we are with a standard can. Of course, you have bought sixty-pound 

 cans, but did you ever know what size those cans would be, what weight of 

 tin they were made of. or what kind of a box they would be placed in for 

 shipment? Of course, you didn't. You simply had to order sixty-pound cans 

 and take what you got. Sometimes you did not get a very good can. Some- 

 times the box w-as not strong enough to stand shipment without breakage. 

 Sometimes you paid a big price for those cheap cans in the loss of honey 

 you sustained through leakage.
