Celluloid Queen-Buttons 



Those are very pretty tilings for bee-keep- 

 ers or lioncy-scllers to wear on tlieir rnat. 

 lapels. They often serve to introduce tlie 

 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 tof these 

 buttonsl. as it will cause peo- 

 ple to ask questions about 

 I 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 opportu- 

 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 for 6 cts.; 2 for ro cts.; 

 or 6 for 25 cts. .\ddress.
