Celluloid Queen-Buttons 



These are very preity thinsjs for bee-keep- 

 ers or honey-selk-rs to wear on their co:»t- 

 lapels. They often serve to introduce the 

 subject of honey, which mi^ht 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 

 I the busy bee, and many a 

 I conversation thus started 

 wind up with the sale of 

 more or less honey; at any 

 rate it would give the bee- 

 keeper a superior opportu- 

 nity to enliehten 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.

Americrn Bee Journal Binder! 



The Emerson Binder is perhaps the best 

 and most convenient of all Binders that are 

 made for holding the copies of various pub- 

 lications as they come from week to week or 

 month to month. 'I'hose we have for the 

 American Bee Journal are stiff mottled 

 pasteboard with clotli back. They are very 

 strong and durable. One of these Binders 

 will hold the American Bee Journal for 3 

 years, and the price is only 75 cents, post- 

 paid; or we will send a Binder with a year's 

 subscription to the American Bee Journal— 

 both for $r.6o.

The Superior 



WRENCH 



A Necessity on Every 



Farm and in Every 



Household 



The Superior Wrench will immediately 

 erip and hold any nut. pipe or bolt, no mat- 

 ter what the shape, condition or size, up to 

 its full opening capacity. 



This wrench is always ready, and needs 

 no adjustment for any size or shape what- 

 ever. You can readily understand its work- 

 ing principle from the illustration. 



USE IT on badly disfigured nuts, corner 

 all off. and where nothing but a cold-chisel 

 and hammer have been effective heretofore; 

 the Superior Wrench is the best, and will 

 take off or tighten up any nut in such condi- 

 tion, and do it quickly. 



As a P'arm Wrench the Superior Wrench 

 has no equal. It will grip any nut or bolt on 

 the binder, mowing machine, or any piece 



<::;^ 



of farm machinery, and something the 

 farmer will appreciate isthis. Did you ever 

 find a bolt that persisted in turning when 

 you were trying to remove a nut ? Try the 

 Superior Wrench on it. It will hold it every 

 time. 



In operating this wrench it is not neces- 

 sary to use both hands. If you do use both 

 hands, place one on the heel of the loose jaw 

 and not on the point. By simply setting the 

 loose jaw up against the nut or pipe you wish 

 to grip, drawing the handle to you. the 

 wrench takes hold, and the harder you pull 

 the lighter it grips. 



The Superior Wrench is one of the most 

 convenient HOUSEHOLD TOOLS you 

 have ever seen. A woman can use it. and 

 she does use it in many ways. 



We mail theSuperior Wrench for 70 cents: 

 or with the American Bee Journal for one 

 year— both for only SiS". Or. we will mail it 

 />t-(' as a premium for sending us two new 

 subscribers for the American Bee Journal 

 for one year with $2.00 to pay for same. Ad- 

 dress,

" IJee-Keepers' Guide" 



This book on bees is also known as 

 the "Manual of the Apiary." It is in- 

 structive, interesting, and both practi- 

 cal and scientific. On the anatomy and 

 physiology of the bee it is more com- 

 plete than any other standard Ameri- 

 can bee-book. Also the part on honey- 

 producing plants is exceptionally fine. 

 Every bee-keeper should have it in his 

 library. It has 544 pages, and 295 illus- 

 trations. Bound in cloth. Price, post- 

 paid, $L20; or with a year's subscrip- 

 tion to the American Bee Journal — both 

 for $1.!)0. Send all orders to ♦'-' CiSicc 

 of the American Bee Journal.
