PRESERVE YOUR FRUITS IN GLASS.

GRAY & HEMINGRAY'S

Self-sealing Bottles for Preserving Fruits.

THIS improvement commends itself to the common sense of every person that has used fruit preserved in Tin Cans. Which is the most reasonable to expect - to preserve that peculiar, fresh, pure flavor of fruits - in Tin or in Glass? It is well known that the acid of fruits has a chemical action on tin, but not on glass. These Fruit Bottles are quite as convenient as the tin cans - are perfectly air tight - and for cleanliness, cheapness and durability, they are without a rival by any and all the inventions for preserving fruit that have yet made their appearance. There are three sizes, Pints, Quarts, and half Gallons. Printed directions for putting up Fruits in these Bottles will be furnished. Specimens may be seen at the Bates House market, where they are sold wholesale and retail by H. F. West, Agent for the State of Indiana.
