Sell Your Comb Honey by the Case 



Comb honey graded for heft according to the interstate com- 

 merce ruHngs will be in shape to sell by the case and section to a 

 good advantage. The cases of a certain grade will all weigh ap- 

 proximately the same, as will each section of the case. It is cus- 

 tomary for the jobber to sell to the grocer by the case and the 

 grocer to the consumer by the section. Why not the producer sell 

 by the case also? We think it is invariably the rule that the jobber 

 will ask for your price by the pound, and by so buying, is in hopes 

 of securing a better bargain. Were we still producing comb honpy, 

 we would quote it something as follows : Number One white clover, 

 414, in. sections, weighing lot less than I31/2 ounces each @ say 18c 

 per section. It is cased in 24 section cases and recrated in carriers 

 holding eight cases for shipment. The above price would be $4.32 

 per case for Number One clover, which should be secured this year, 

 with fancy at a cent or two per section advance over the number 

 one grade. Try this way of selling your comb honey this year and 

 take my word for it you will be pleased with the results.
