 Editor Review: 



I desire information as to the lat- 

 est developments in shipping honey 

 by parcel post. Have any small 

 packages been perfected which will 

 hold half-pounds and pounds ? Would 

 you be willing to explain these de- 

 tails or tell where the packages are 

 available I am sending this letter 

 to a number of beekeepers in an ef- 

 fort to summarize the parcel post 

 packing for the benefit of our bee- 

 keepers. 



Very truly yours, 



B. N. GATES. 



(President Gates: While we can- 

 not furnish the exact sizes of parcel 

 post packages you ask for, we can 

 come very near it. You will notice 

 in the advertising department of this 

 number of the Review we are listing 

 square syrup cans with 1%" screw 

 caps in gallon, half gallon and quarts. 

 If there was a call for them we are 

 prepared to furnish these cans in 

 pints and half pints, in corrugated 



paper mailing cases. The above con- 

 tainer's hold respectively as follows, 

 of ordinary honey: gallons, 12 lbs.; 

 half gallons, 6 lbs.; quarts, 3 lbs.; 

 pints, fi/^ lbs.; half 'pints, % lb. All 

 of our mailing qases are of the tel- 

 escope sort, needing no paste to set 

 up. They are built of what is known 

 as 175 lb. double faced stock, which 

 is accepted by the railroads for ship- 

 ments up to 40 pounds, so it will be 

 seen that with our light package, the 

 protection is ample. As a further 

 precaution against damage and to 

 comply with the parcel post regula- 

 tions, those cases are built in such 

 a manner that every side is double 

 thickness of corrugated paper. With 

 a fra^'ile tag attached there has not 

 been a single complaint of damage 

 through the mails, and this with many 

 hundred in use. Our cases are all 

 built by The Hinde & Dauch Paper 

 Co., Sandusky, Ohio, and if the read- 

 er should order direct, instead of 

 through the National, if you would 

 mention that they were to be made 

 the same as those we are selling, they 

 will then understand your wants. — -
