Honey-Packages in Glass 



We have quite a variety of glass packages for putting up honey for retail. We mention first our 



Half- pound Tumbler. 



This is shown at the left with a diamond label, No. 95. These include tin 

 cover with wax or parchment paper disk for sealing tight. No labels. Will 

 hold 7 oz. of honey when filled; and the price, $5.50 per barrel of 32 dozen; 

 5-bbl. lots at $5.25. In reshipping-cases of 4 dozen packed ready to reship. 

 when filled, $1.00 per case; 6 cases, $5.70; 20 cases or over, at 90 cents ppr case. 



No. 25 

 Jar. 



This holds one pound of honey; has an opal 

 cap with rubber ring and lacquered tin screw 

 rim which seals tight. Packed in reshipping 

 cases of 2 dozen each; price $1.10 per case; 6 

 cases, $6.30; 20 cases or more at $1.00 per case. 



Tiptop 

 Jar. ^ 



We keep these in two sizes, for half and one pound of honey. The shape of 

 the jar is shown in the cut. It has a glass top, a rubber ring, and a spring-top 

 fastener. Packed a gross in a crate at $5.00 per gross for 1-lb., or $4.50 for the 

 half-pound size. We have them also packed in reshipping-cases of 2 dozen 

 each at $1.10 per case for 1-lb. size; 6 cases, $.5.30; 20casesor over at $1.00 per case. 

 Half-pound size, $1.00 per case; $5.70 for 6 cases, or 90 cts. per case in 20-case lots. 



vSimplex Jar. 



This is one of the handsomest jars we ever handled. The 

 factory making them was wrecked last August, and we have 

 been unable since to secure any more of the size, which holds one pound. We can 

 supply the next larger size, which holds 18 oz. of honey. Packed in reshipping- 

 cases of 2 dozen. Price $1.15 per case; 6 cases for $6.60; in 20-case lots or over at 

 $1.05 per case. We still have at Philadelphia a few cases of the 1-pound size 

 which may be had from there while they last, at the same price as above.

HersHiser 

 Jars. 



These jars were designed for 

 use in the honey exhibit at the 

 Pan-American Exposition in 

 Buffalo, and are very neat and 

 attractive. They have cork- 

 lined aluminum caps which seal 

 them tight. They are made in four sizes square 

 and three sizes round. The 1-lb. size in each 

 style is shown in the first two cuts at the left.

 the smaller sizes one gross. Price including corks:
