50,000 Copies "Honey as a Health-Food" 

 To Help Increase the Demand for Honey 



We have had printed an edition of over 50,000 copies of the 16-page pamphlet on 

 Honey as a Health-Food." It is envelope size, and just the thing to create a local demand 

 for honey. 



The first part of it contains a short article on " Honey as Food," written by Dr. C. C 

 Miller. It tells where to keep honey, how to liquefy it, etc. The last is devoted to "Honey 

 Cooking Recipes " and "Remedies Using Honey." It should be widely circulated by those 

 selling honey. The more the people are educated on the value and uses of honey as a food, 

 the more honey they will buy. 



Prices, prepaid— Sample copy for a 2cent stamp; 50 copies for 90 cents; 100 copies for 

 J1.50; 250 copies for $3.00 : 500 for $5.00 ; or 1000 for $9.00. Your business card printed free at the 

 bottom of front page on all orders for 100 or more copies.

This is a special tool invented by a Minnesota bee-keeper, adapted for pry- 

 ing up supers, and for general hive and other work around the apiary. Made of 

 malleable iron, 8}i inches long. The middle part is 1 1-16 inches wide, and 7-32 

 thick. The smaller end is IJ^ inches long, yi inch wide, and 7-32 thick, ending 

 like a screwdriver. The larger end is wedge-shaped, having a fairly sharp, semi- 

 circular edge, making it almost perfect for prying up hive-covers, supers, etc., as 

 it does not mar the wood. Dr. C. C. Miller, who has used this tool since 1903, 

 says: "I think as much of the tool as ever."
