KEGS AND PAILS 



FOR EXTRACTED HONEY. 



These KEGS are designed to answer the popular 

 demand for honey in small packages, and when 

 compared with large barrels holding from soo to 

 5UO lbs. each, they are fully as cheap and often 

 cheaper. They need no waxing, but should simply 

 be tlioroughly scalded with boiling water before 

 used. The leakage so often occurring in the large 

 hard-wood barrels can be entirely prevented by 

 using this size of packages. (.Considering 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 

 Original cost, It is apparent to all that they are the 

 best. Prices: 



5gal1on Kegs, holding a trifle over 50 lbs 40c 



10 " '^ " " " lU) lbs. ...60c 



lbs.. 

 190 lbs., 



.60c 

 ..80c 



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

 discount of 10 per cent, given on the above prices. 



These new kega are designed and manufactured 

 with special reierence to my experience and sug- 

 gestions from those who have used the fish, lard 

 and syrup kegs of last season. The staves are 

 Norway Pine; the heads are Uak; and the hoops 

 are Hickory, and, as wil I be noticed by the accom- 

 panying illustrations, they are well bound. If 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 areexcellent 

 for selling honey in :i home market, and after the 

 honey is candied, they can be shipped anywhere. 

 All sizes, except tlie smallest, have u bail or handle, 

 and when emptied by the consumer will be found 

 useful in every household. 



Assorted samples of the four sizes put inside of 

 one another as a nest, price. 50 cts. by express.
