The Maple Sugar Mess

The way out of the Maple Sugar Mess
as someone has called it, is the private
market. With the open market offering
only Coo or zoe per gallon for syrup and
an equally low figure for maple sugar the
maker of this product can, with little ex-
ira effort and investment, sell his product
for several times the market price, and net
himself a handsome profit. The writer
knows of several sugar makers who are get
ting 25c per pound for their sugar, and
some as high as soc, and an equally high
price for syrup. These sugar makers send
their product in small shipments to Gus
toners in the south and west. The private
market for maple products has only been
touched as yet, and all this market de-
mands is a good product. To make a
good product requires little extra effort
in keeping all utensils clean. and packing
the product attractively. To find the
market is usually small and inexpensive
task. One producer told the writer of
spending $1.50 in advertising ina national
magazine and receiving. orders for more
maple goods than he could make in the
season. Many people all over the nation
are longing to know where they can buy
a few gallons of real maple syrup, or a few
pounds of sugar, and are ready and will
ing to pay way above the market price.
TheV must however be assured of the
genuine product.-Barton Monitor.
