Celluloid Queen-Buttons 



These are very pretty things for bee-keep- 

 ers or honey-sellers to wear on their coat, 

 lapels. They often serve to introduce the 

 subject of honey, which might frequently 

 lead to a sale. 



Note, — One bee-keeper writes: "I have 

 every reason to believe that it would be a 

 very good idea for every bee- 

 keeper to wear one [of these 

 buttons], as it will cause peo- 

 ple to ask Questions about 

 the busy bee. and many a 

 conversation thus started 

 wind up with the sale of 

 more or less honey; at any 

 rate it would give the bee- 

 keeper a superior oppot tu- 

 nity to enlighten many a person in regard to 

 honey and bees," 



The picture shown above is a reproduc- 

 tion of a motto queen-button that we offer 

 to bee-keepers. It has a pin on the under- 

 side to fasten it. 



Prices— by mail— I tor 6 cts, ; 2 for 10 cts,;
