Front of the box reads:"[large print] COMB/ HONEY/ "Nature's Most Delicious Sweet""/ Right side of box reads: "[large print] COMB/ HONEY/ [small print] Comb Honey for ages/ has been recognized as/ a pure and delicious/ natural sweet and/ many references to/ "the sweetness of the/ honey comb" is to be/ found in ancient lit/ erature. Honey is a/ wholesome, healthful,/ delicious and easily di-/ gested natural sweet./ Comb honey takes its/ taste or flavour from/ the kind of flowers/ that the bees gather/ the honey from, for/ instance honey gather-/ ed from clover blos-/ soms will taste like/ smell of the clover/ fields when it bloom,/ that from the bass-/ wood takes the odor of/ the basswood blossoms/ and similarly that from/ buckwheat fields. At/ times also the bees will/ gather honey from/ several different kinds/ of flowers at the same/ time in which case no/ special flavor will be/ particularly noticed."/ Left side of box reads: "[large print] COMB/ HONEY"/ Back of box reads: " PURE COMB HONEY/ This honey comb is entirely the product of the/ bee hives./ The beekeeper furnished the wood frame/ or section as it is called and placed a very thin/ sheet of wax, known as foundation in the centre,/ after which the bees constructed the wax cells in/ which the honey is stored. /The honey has been/ gathered from the flowers, deposited in the cells/ and sealed up entirely by the bees. Actually the/ honey has never been touched by hand and is as/ pure and clean as it possibly can be."/ Next paragraph reads: "Should the honey in the comb show granules/ it indicates age and not adulteration. Most honey/ will granulate after it reaches a certain age, but/ this does not spoil its food value."/ Below in bold reads: "From the Apiary of: - Du RUCHER DE:"/ Top tab reads: "WHERE TO KEEP/ Note - This honey should be kept in a warm, dry place./ Never store in cellar or refrigerator."/ In french text reads: "OU LE GARDER"/ Avis - Ce miel doit etre garde dans un endroit sec et chaud./ Ne le conservez jamais dans une cave ni dans un refrigerateur."/
