 all those having honey to sell, as well as those wanting to buy. 

 Please mention how much, what kind, and prices, as far as pos- 

 sible. As a general thing. I would not advise you to send your

 you can look after it. it is often a very pood way. Bvallmeans, 

 develop your home m.irket. For 25 cents we can furnish little 

 boards to hang up in your dooryara, with the words, "Honey 

 forSaJe, " neatly painted. ]f wanted by mail, 10 cents extra for
