SELLING THE PRODUCE 107 
trict and advertise in the local newspaper, at the 
same time making a small but tasteful display; 
in your window, if you be living by the side of 
the highway. If this does not clear your produce, 
recourse may be had to the nearest town and 
honey offered to the shopkeepers there, either by, 
means of circulars, canvassing, or advertisement. 
Should this fail most shopkeepers will make a 
display, on sale or return terms. 
‘Try by all means to deal direct with the con- 
sumer, as then the highest possible profit is made. 
With regard to the packages, there is nothing 
better than the usual screw-cap jars for extracted 
honey for the retail trade, and twenty-eight-pound 
square tins with lever lids for the wholesale market. 
All comb honey should be glazed preferably, or 
failing that it may. be wrapped in grease-proof 
paper, and placed in cardboard cartons stamped 
with the name and address of the producer. 
‘All honey should carry a distinctive label, con- 
taining the name and address of the seller, and 
to this should be added a notice stating that if the 
honey. granulates it is merely a further sign of 
its purity, and that it may be readily re-liquefied* 
by, immersion in warm water. These hints if acted 
upon will do away with nearly all honey-selling 
troubles, which should never exist, seeing the large 
yearly, influx of foreign honey.
