" Iron- Jacket" Hoiiey-Canssi. 



I presume the friends are aware that ordinary tia 

 cans are not very safe for shipping full of honey, 

 unless boxed or crated. The cans above are ready 

 to be shipped anywhere.

By figuring 11 lbs. of honey to the gallon, you can 

 easily see how many pounds each can holds. They 

 are made from tin plates. A sheet-iron casing, with 

 wood bottom, protects them from bruising. The iron 

 .iacket is stronger than wood, and far more service- 

 able. They neither shrink nor swell, and do not 

 split nor fall apart. Every can is tested by steam 

 and guaranteed to be tight.
