HONEY-JARS! 



A neat package is a great help to the sale of your extracted honey. 

 A glass jar is the favorite for many markets. Some retail trade 

 demands one style and some another. We can supply you with 

 v\hat you want. 



Simplex Honey«iars 



This is a new jar with glass screw-to^ 

 and rubber gasket fitted to the taper 

 screw on jar, which seals absolutely air- 

 tight. We consider it the handsomest 

 jar we sell for one pound of honey. 

 Your honey in these jars is sure to 

 attract attention and have a ready sale 

 in any grocery. 



We are now prepared to offer Simplex 

 jars in partitioned cases of two dozen 

 each, ready to reship, when filled, at 

 $1 00 per case; ten-case lots or over, at 

 95 cts.: fifty- case lots at 90 cts. We 

 can ship either from Medina, Chicago, 

 New York, Philadelphia, and, after 

 Sept. 1, from Mechanic Palls, Me. 



No. 25 Jars 



This is our standard jar — holding one 

 pound of honey. We have sold this jar 

 for years, and in larger quantities than 

 any other honey- package we ever han- 

 dled. It has opal cap with rubber ring 

 and tin screw rim. Put up in re ship- 

 ping-cases of two dozen. Prices same 

 as Simplex jars quoted above. 



Tip«toi> Honea^-jars 



This is a new-style jar sealed with 

 a rubber ring under rim of a glass top 

 held securely with spring- top fastener. 

 This fastener is applied to a great vari- 

 ety of bottles and jars used for different 

 purposes. We have selected two styles 

 among them all as being most suitable 

 for honey. The one and two pound 

 square jars may be had with spring top 

 fastening instead of cork at 75c per 

 groas extra. We furnish in two sizes. 

 Half-pound, 45c per dozen; gross, S4.50. 

 One-pound, BOc per dozen; gross, $5.00.

Ttimblers 



There seems to be an increasing de- 

 mand for a cheap tumbler to put up a 

 half-pound of honey to retail at 10 cts. 

 We have secured a stock of such tum- 

 blers at a price which enables us to offer 

 them at $4 00 per barrel of 24 dozen. 

 This is less than l'/2 cts. apiece. For 

 less than barrel lots we can not repack 

 them for less than 25 cts. a dozen ; or we 

 will put them up 4 dozen to the case 

 with partitions ready to reship when 

 filled, at $1 00 a case; 10-case lots at 95c. 



Mason Fruit-jars 



These are very largely used for can- 

 ning fruit, and are often used for honey 

 as well. As we buy them by the carload, 

 we can make the following prices at 

 Medina, all put up complete with porce- 

 lain-lined caps and rubbers, in cases of 

 one dozen:
