but when only a fractional part of the can is wanted the price is $1 per 

 pound. 



The 1-pound cans are sold to wholesale dealers at the rate of $115.20 

 per gross, less 15 per cent, discount; these are sold to the retail dealers 

 at the rate of $9.60 per dozen, and these dealers sell them to consumers 

 at the rate of $1.25 per can. 



The 10 ounce cans are sold to wholesale dealers at the rate of $63 

 per gross, less 15 per cent, discount ; the wholesale dealers sell them to 

 retail dealers at $5.25 per dozen, and the latter charge the consumers 

 75 cents per can. 



The 2-ounce cans are sold to wholesale dealers at the rate of $18 per 

 gross, less 15 per cent discount.; the retail dealers pay $1.50 per dozen 

 for these cans and sell them to consumers at the rate of 25 cents per can. 



The company also puts up a small sample box of the Buhach, which 

 is mailed to all applicants free of charge. 



The company has two different kinds of instruments for distributing 

 the dry Buhach powder. One of these is called an " insufflator," and 

 somewhat resembles a tin oil-can, such as is commonly used for oiling 

 sewing-machines, but the distributing tube is placed low clown on one 

 side, while on the upper side is a tube, open at both ends and projecting 

 into the can ; this tube contains a piston which, when pushed down- 

 ward, throws the Buhach out of the distributing tube in a fine shower, 

 while a spring again pushes the piston upward in its proper place as 

 soon as the pressure from above has been removed. This instrument is 

 held in one hand and the piston is operated by the thumb of the same 

 hand. It is intended for distributing the Buhach in places where only 

 a small quantity of it is required. 



It was formerly constructed with an opening in the piston leading 

 into the interior of the insufflator, through which the latter was tilled 

 with the Buhach, the opening being afterwards closed with a tight-fit- 

 ting cork ; but an improvement has lately been made by having nearly 

 the whole bottom in the form of a screw-cap, like that on glass fruit- 

 jars, which can be removed by being unscrewed; by this arraugemeut 

 the insufflator can be filled much easier and quicker than by the old 

 way. 



The present price of this insufflator is 25 cents each. 



The second instrument, referred to above, is intended for distributing 

 the dry Buhach in large quantities. It consists of a tin can somewhat 

 resembling a common lard-can holding 5 pounds of lard. In the lower 

 part of the can, upon one side, is an opening, into which the nozzle of a 

 small hand-bellows is inserted, while on the opposite side, also near the 

 bottom of the can, is a smaller opening, leading into a spoon-shaped 

 nozzle on the outside. This nozzle is furnished with a slicle, so arranged 

 as to regulate the quantity of the buhach that is forced through it by 

 the bellows. The top of the can has an opening 4 inches in diameter,
