What They Say about the Pouder HonL'y=jars. 



Walters. Pouder, Indianapolis, Ind.: 



Dear Si?-. — According to our experience the Pou- 

 der Honey-jars come nearer to the general demand of 

 the producer than any other package for extracted 

 honey that we have ever seen. They are unexcelled 

 for their neat and attractive appearaiice. and the loss 

 in transit with your method of crating is almost no- 

 thing. If producers would use them more, instead of 

 shipping their honey by the barrel, they could estab- 

 lish a home market for their product and greatly in- 

 crease their profits. Yours, T. A. Da.n-ikl & Pro ".
