Names of Bee-Keepers Wanted We 



desire very much to have the names and 

 addresses of all the bee-keepers who 

 are in your locality who do not now 

 take the American Bee Journal. We 

 would like to get every one of them on 

 our list of regular readers. If you will 

 send to this oflice the names and ad- 

 dresses of such bee-keepers, we will be 

 pleased to mail each a sample copy of 

 the .-\merican Bee Journal. Perhaps 

 you could send in their subscriptions, 

 and thus earn some of the various pre- 

 miums that we offer from time to time 

 for getting new subscriptions. We feel 

 that every bee-keeper ought to read the 

 American Bee Journal regularly. He 

 would not only be more successful, 

 but would be less of a competitor of 

 his neighbor bee-keepers, if he were 

 more enlightened on the subject of 

 bees and honey. We would appreciate 

 it very much if all who can do so will 

 send us the names and addresses of 

 their bee-keeping neighbors who do 

 not at present receive the American 

 Bee Journal.
