Improvement in Packing Honey

Letters received here last winter
from Thos. G. Newman, editor of
the American Bee Journal, and
from Thurber g. Co., OF New York,
advised our Bee Keepers Associa-
ton TO pack their honey in "small,
neat, attractive cases." In order
TO compete with those used
In the East, and recommended
the use Of the "Prize Case" The
President Of the Association was
requested TO correspond further on
the subject, AMI in doing so, had
sent TO him by mail sample
ssprixe case" This was found to
be uusuited to our requirements, as
1t needed glass, and the cost and
risk of breakage would be too great.
Setting his wits to work, the Pres.
ident. Mr.. Chas. ]. Fox, invented
. sliding lid, placed in each side Of
the box, the use Of which enabled
the dealer to exhibit the honey
without taking off the lids Of the
boxes, even when they are piled
up several tiers high. These
boxes are now being made
NOxy HCotiy W NSthCioCO ~
Co., of San Francisco, and
sold here by r.. G.. Balloon,
and seem to meet the wishes
Of producers and dealers, judging
by the large number being USE d.
We saw this evening sample
box to be sent by mail to Chicago,
to show the dealers there in
what o neat aud attractive shape
our producers can put up their
honey. They have before acknowl-
edged that our honey could not be
beaten for quality; and now they
will find We art not going behind
the times in pulling 1t up for
snle. We will add that
