If the store-keeper has the room it vv ould be advisable to have three trays, one for clover, one for amber, and one for buckwheat honey. If the space is limited, it would be best to place on sale the clover honey. This method reduces the cost of handling and eliminates the of li(iuefy- ing and filling glass or tin packages, and the cost of labels and packages. It places the honey before the consumer at the lowest possible price. This is one of the great questions before the American people today, to get products from the producer to the consumer with the least possible ex- pense, so that the so-called high cost of living may be reduced. Honey may be placed in stores in this way at from 8 to 11 cents per pound, and should be retailed at from 12 to cents per pound. This is the lowest price at which honey in any form can be re- tailed for at a profit to both the pro- ducer and Mr, C. B. Howard in His Apiary. This is no theory that has not been tried out, but the actual results that have been under my observation as a wholesale dealer. I would cite to you one instance in a small city in this State, where over 10,000 pounds of ex- tracted honey were disposed of in this manner in one winter, in addition to the regular amount of comb honey and extracted sold in glass. If this method of selling extracted honey could be carried out throughout all the markets in this country, a vast amount of honey would be consumed, and there would be a demand created for extracted honey unheard of in the annals of ex- tracted-honey production.
