54 BEE CULTURE, 
If smaller packages are wanted, then use glass jars (fig. 29) 
or tumblers. These are always worth their cost in the family 
—the former for pickles, catsups, and a thousand other uses, 
while the latter are equally appreciated for their convenience 
in putting up jellies, ete. Jars and tumblers, like the tin 
pails, shonld be tastefully put up and labeled.

For a retail market, excellence of goods should be the 
prime consideration, but the attractiveness of the package 
should never be lost sight of. Manufacturers of adulterated 
goods, of nearly every description, depend more upon effect- 
ing sales by the employment of attractive packages and taste- 
ful, pretentious labels than upon the excellence of the pre- 
tended article sold. In this respect, bee-keepers have been 
wofully negligent, and many have appeared wholly indifferent 
as to the appearance of their honey, seeming to imagine that 
their personal assurance to the grocer of the purity of the 
article, was sufficient to convince the public of its desirable- 
ness.
