^" In reply to many correspondents 

 let us say that we take any kind of 

 postage stamps at their face value —

 dangers the loss of the letter either 

 by thieves, or else breaks through the 

 envelope and is lost in that way.

These KEGS are desiened to answer the popular 

 demand for honey In small packages, and when 

 compared with large barrels holding from :MMt to 

 5<Xi ibs. each, they are fully as cheap and often 

 cheap-^r. They need no waxing, but should simply 

 be thoroughly scalded with boiiinc water before 

 used. The leakage so often nccurring in the large 

 hard-wood barrels can be entirely prevented by 

 using this size of parkag^is. Cinisi'lering the cost 

 and trouble of waxing, the loss of honey by leak- 

 age, and the ease with which these Kegs can be 

 handled and shipped, with an actual saving in 

 oritiinul cost, it is apparent to all that they are the 

 best. Prices: 



5 gallon Kegs.taoldtngatrifleover 50 lbs — 40c 

 lo " *^ " " " iw lbs.... 600 



18 " " " " " 1901b8....80c 



When 25 or more kegs are ordered at one time, a 

 discount of lu per cent, given on the above prices. 



These new kegs are designed and manufactured 

 with special re erence to njy experience and sug- 

 gestions from those who have used the fish, lard 

 and syrup kegs of last season. The staves are 

 Norway Pine: the hearts are Oak; and the hoops 

 are Hickorv, and, as will be noticed by the accom- 

 panving illustriui<inw, ther are well bound. Ir the 

 heads are painted, I will guarantee these kegs not 

 to leak. It Is not essential to paint them, but I 

 believe it will pay to do so. 



These PAILS have a full cover and areexceUent 



for selling honer in a home market, and after the 



honey is candied, they can be shipped an vivhere. 



All sizes, except the smallest, have a bail or handle, 



and when emptied by the consumer will be found 



useful in every housfhold. 

 As.-.orted samples of the four sizes put inside of 



one another as a nest, price. rti> cts. by express.
