Experience in Retailing Honey. 



Query 70.— 1. Hiive jou had any experi- 

 ence in retailing: honey ? 



2, If so, will you name a few of what you 

 consider tbe needful points In order to make 

 it a success ?— Honey-Man. 



R. L. Taylor— 1. No. 

 ■ Eugene Secor — 1, No, 



Dr. C, C. Miller — I'm no good at it. 



Jas, A. Stone — No ; only a little at 

 home. 



C. e. Dibbern— 1. Yes, decidedly. 2. 

 Produce honey that everybody wants. 



Prof. A. J. Cook— 1 and 2. I have, 

 and give results and suggestions in my 

 "Bee-Keepers' Guide." 



W. G. Larrabee — 1, Yes. 2. Repre- 

 sent your honey just as it is, sell a good 

 article, and ask the same price from 

 every one. 



E. France — 1. Yes. 2. Get your crop 

 in flrst-class marKetable shape and neat- 

 ness. Let it be known that you have 

 such honey to sell. 



G. M. Doolittle — 1 and 2. Leave a free 

 sample at each house. Then go around 

 a few days later and you will make sales 

 at nearly every place where you left a 

 sample. 



J. M. Hambaugh — 1. Yes. 2. a. A 

 good salesman, b. A pure and whole- 

 some article, c. Packages of various 

 sizes and attractive forms, both comb 

 and extracted, d. Push the goods. 



J. E. Pond — 1. Not to any extent, as 

 I have never produced honey to sell. 2. 

 I could give my opinion, but with no ex- 

 perience in the matter such opinion 

 would be simply a "Yankee guess." 



Dr.J.P.H.Brown— 1. Yes. 2. The nicest 

 and neatest shape. Education of custo- 

 mers as to what is pure and clean honey. 

 Talk MP the wholesonieness of your 

 honey, and talk down the adulterated 

 commercial syrups. 



A. F. Brown — 1 and 2. Yes, extracted 

 honey in glass jars and tumblers; only 

 put it into jars and tumblers about as 

 fast as needed. Use small, plain, neat 

 labels. Don't be "stingy" with samp- 

 ling to prospective customers — to every 

 one. 



Rev. M. Mahin— 1. A little. 2. Have 

 good honey put up in attractive pack- 

 ages. Give away small samples. I have 

 retailed more at my house than any- 

 where else. When people find that I 

 have a good article at a fair price they 

 come for it. 



Emerson T. Abbott— 1. Yes. 2. A fine 

 quality of honey and a good live sales- 

 man, who is thoroughly posted in the 

 bee-buiness, are two things that are very 

 essential. You cannot tell a man on 

 paper how to sell goods. He must learn 

 this by practical experience. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — 1. Yes. 2. Never 

 consider an order too small to give it 

 your attention. Show your goods, and
