PACKAGES FOR RETAILING EXTRACTED HONEY. 



We have OH hand three carloads of glass honey-packages ready for prompt shipment. They are of tlie fol- 

 lowing styles: We have a good assortment in our" Philadelphia warehonse, and a carload of No. 25 jars at our 

 Mechanic Falls branch. We are prepared to furnish them in large and small lots on short notice The paper 

 bags are new with us this year, and there may be some delay in furnishing large orders. It would be well to 

 anticipate your wants in these and order two months before you need them if you expect to use many thou- 

 sand. Our first order, which has taken over two months to get from the faf-tory, is for oo,000, 2o,f00 2-lb., and 

 10 000 each of three larger sizes. While these last we shall be able to supply them promptly.

 more expensive than a 

 common tin-top tumbler, 

 it .s the ni.est package we 

 know of for one pound of 

 honey. It is clear flint 

 glass with porcelain top 

 and tin screw-rim and rub- 

 ber ring to seal tight. We 

 have them packed 2 doz.

Tip-top Honey-jars. 



This is a new-stjde jar sealed 

 with rubber ring under rim of 

 a glass top held secur- ly with 

 spring-top fastener. This fast- 

 ener is applied to a great vari- 

 ety of bottles and jars used for 

 different purposes. We have 

 select d two stsl' s among them 

 all as being most suitable for 

 honey. The 1 and 2 lb .square 

 j irs above may be had with 

 ~p ing top fastening instead of 

 cork at 75c per gross extra.

 called Tip-Top, we can furnish

Mctson Fpuit-japs.

 for canning fruit, and are often 

 used for hone^' as well. As we 

 V)uy them by the carload, we can

 porcelain-lined caps and rub- 

 bers, in cases of one dozen: 



AIKIN HONEY-BAGS. 



Our supply of paper honey-bags has not yet reached 

 us but we are expecting them now within a few days, 

 when we shall be prepared to supply them at the 

 prices named below. 



These are made of tough paper, straw color, printed 

 in two co'ors. with blank space for name and address 

 of producer or dealer, and extra-coated with paraffine. 

 They have been thoroughly te.sted, and proven to be a 

 success for candied exti acted honey. See article in our 

 March 1st issue for illustration and full pr^niculars. 

 We have four sizes which we can supply at the follow- 

 ing prices :

 ule of prices for any size :

Lots of 500 '7 cts. 



Lots of 1000 5IOO. 



For each additional 1000, add 50 cents. Each change 

 of name and address counts as a separate order. For 

 instance 100(1 bags printed with four different names 

 and addresses, 250 of each, would be 82.(K) ; with ten 

 different name.s, $:5.00, etc. As the bags must be print- 

 ed before thev are made up and coated, we can not 

 change the label except in lots of 10 00 or over. We 

 have some plain 2-lb, size of dark -drab paper which 

 we can furnish plain at $2.00 per 1000 less than prices 

 quoted above, or we can print a smaller special label 

 in one color at above rates extra for printing.
