We used clear-glass quart and half-gallonjars with golden tops, to pack the nice bulkcomb in. The comb was cut into strips thatreached from bottom to top, and the jarswere filled with extracted honey. We also had bulk comb in pails on thelower shelves, but it does not show in thepicture.

I alsohad a 70-lb. cake with a United States flagsticking in it. An exhibit of this kind costsvery little, and yet it sold all my surplushonev the same week. Cakllen, E. B.
