\ HONEY AS A COMMERCIAL PRODUCT. 
With a ready and anxious market for our comb honey in 
England, France, Germany, China and Japan, as eager 
consumers of American extracted honey, all fears of over- 
stocking the market are happily set at rest, and the time is 
not far distant when prices will be as quotable, and as gener- 
ally uniform as for any other product. Nor need we fear a 
divided market by reason of Foreign competition, for no 
country in Europe is so greatly favored by nature for honey 
producing as is the United States, and none produces honey 
of finer quality. 
Time was when prejudice militated greatly against our 
sales abroad, but the cultivation of fraternal relations with 
our friends in Foreign lands, and the assurance of friendly 
feelings and honorable transactions, have turned their honest 
prejudice into esteem, and their jealousy into generous co- 
operation. 
Our faith in the future of honey as a staple article, like 
butter, cheese and eggs, is strong and invincible. To this 
we have devoted our time, energies and means, and we are 
fully aware that all our “ earnest work,” as well as that of 
our co laborers, will be rewarded. Let us all be wide awake 
—for “the day of prosperity” for our chosen avocation is 
just dawning.
