GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



S77 



of extracted honey at V2 cents a pound is one of the 

 wonderful things done hy H. C. Ahlers and his boy, of 

 West Bend. Wis. It was accomplished last year in only 

 eight trips to the city of Milwaukee, in a four-page 

 article that, to me. is as interesting as a romance, he 

 tells, in the September Bee-keepers' Review, how grood 

 business management enabled him to accomplish this 

 feat. 



He tells how the honey is put up: what packages are 

 used : how the trade was started; how it has been worked 

 t:p and kept srrowinfT until it has assumed its present 

 proportions. He tells how advei-tising has helped him.

SIMPLEX HONEY-TAR. 



We have fotind a new glass jar 

 for one pound of honey, which we 

 think surpasses any other style we 

 ever offered. It has a glass top 

 which screws on to the glass jar 

 with a rubber gasket betvveen. 

 The joint is on a taperso that, the 

 further you screw the cover on, 

 the tighter it makes the joint. It 

 can he sealed absolutely air-tight; 

 has no metal to rust or corrode. 

 It is about Yi inch higher than the 

 No. 25, which improves its appear- 

 ance. We sell them at the same 

 price as the No. 25, and have a 

 carload in stock ready to fill 

 orders. We first learned of this 

 jar nearly a year ago, but have 

 said nothing about it until we had 

 the stock in hand ready to supply. We still have 

 some No. 25 in stock for those who may prefer to con- 

 tinue with it We believe, however, the Simplex jar 

 will take the place of the No. 25.

He goes much into detail, even as to how he drefsts, 

 and what he says and does when the kitchen door is 

 opened in response to his knock. 



He has set '.lis stakes 'o sell 20,000 pounds this year, at 

 the same price, and I think he w. 11 succeed. If you have 

 any dispo.sition to sell your extracted honey at this 

 price, send ten cents lor this issue of the Review, and 

 see how Mr. Ahlers did it. The ten cents may apply on 

 any subscription sent in later, duririg the year.
