A Celluloid Queen-Button is a verv 

 pretty thing for a bee-keeper or honey-seller 

 to wear on his coat-lapel. It often serves to in- 

 troduce the subject of honey, 

 and frequently leads to a 

 sale. 



Note.— One readei writes: 

 " I have every reason to be- 

 lieve that it would be a verj 

 g"ood idea forev^ry bee-keeper 

 to wear one [of Lie buttons, 

 as it will cause people to ask 

 .juestiona about the busy bee, and manv a con- 

 rersation thus started would wind up with the 

 sale of more or. less honey; at any rate it would 

 give the bee-keeper a superior opportunity to 

 enlighten many a person in regard to honey 

 aad bees." > 



The picture shown herewith Is a reprou uc- 

 4ion of a motto queeu-button that we are fur- 

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

 underside to fasten It. 



Price, by mail, 6 cents; two for 10 cents,

The Novelty Pocket=Knife. 



Your Name and Address on one jiidtv— Three Bees 00 the other side 



HOWARD M. MELBEE, 



HONEYVILLE, O. 



(This Cot is tub t'OLi, Size of the Knife.) 



Your Name on the Knife.— When ordering, be sure to say )ust what name and 

 4ddress you wish put on the Knife. 



The Novelty Knife is indeed a novelty The novelty lies in the handle. It is 

 made beautifully of indestructible celluloid, which is as transparent as glass. Un- 

 derneath the celluloid, on one side of the handle is placed the name and residence of 

 the subscriber, and on the other side pictures of a Queen, Drone, and Worker, as 

 shown here. 



The Material entering into this celebrated knife is of the very best quality; 

 the blades are hand-forged out of the very finest English razor-steel, .ind we war- 

 rant every blade. The bolsters are made of German silver, and will never rust or 

 corrode. The rivets are hardened German silver wire; the lininsrs are plate brass; 

 the back springs of Sheffield spring-steel, and the finish of the handle as described 

 above. It will last a last-time, with proper usage. 



Why Own the Novelty Knife ? In case a good knife is lost, the chances are the 

 owner will never recover it; but if the " Novelty " is lost, having name and address 

 of owner, the finder will return it; otherwise to try to destroy the name and ad- 

 dress, would destiov the knife. If traveling, and you meet with a serious accident, and are so foi- 

 tunate as to have one of the •' Novelties," your Pocket- Knifs will serve as an identifier; and is 

 .';ase of death, your relatives will at once be notified of the accident. 



How appropriate this knife is for a present; What more lasting memento could a mother 

 ifive to a son, a wife to a husband, a sister to a brother, or a ladv to a gentleman, the knife having 

 tae name of the recipient on one side? 



The accompanying cu' gives a faint idea, but cannot fully convey an exact representation oJ 

 this]|beautiful knife, as tb>» ** Novelty " must be seen to be appreciated. 



How to Get this Valuable Knife.— We send it postpaid for $1.25, or give it as a Premium to th« 

 Due sending iis\hki:e new suesckiheks to the Bee Journal (with$.''.'».l We will club the Noveitj 

 Suife and the Bee Journal for one vear, both for f 1.90.
