HONEY- PACKAGES. 

 We have received from the factory during the past 

 month another carload of Simplex honey-jars. This is a 

 very attractive jar for holding- one pound of honey. We 

 furnish them packed in cases of 2 dozen each, with pack- 

 ing between the jars so they are safe to ship again when 

 filled with honey, without additional packing. Price 

 $1.10 per case ; 6 cases, $6.30. We received in this car 

 30 barrels which, by mistake, were packed 14 dozen to 

 the barrel instead of 12 dozen, as usual. We offer these 

 at $6.30 per barrel ; lots of 5 barrels or over, at $6.00. 

 For use in the home market where you do not have to 

 ship, this is a bargain. 



HONEY-CANS. 

 We received the past month a carload of five-gallon 

 honey-cans which we have packed in cases of one and 

 two each. We have also a good supply of V4, V2, and 1 

 gallon cans. To help reduce this stock we will apply the 

 eai ly-order discount on cash orders for tin cans, even 

 though not ordered in connection with other supplies for 

 next season. This is a special offer, limited in time, and 

 you should mention it when you order. This discount 

 applies to catalog prices, and not to the special price re- 

 cently quoted on half-gallon cans. Our stock of half- 

 gallon cans vnth small screws is all sold. We have in 

 stock only those with IVi or 1% inch screws.
