 forethought, you have already anticipated 

 your wants, you should place your order

 are now coming in ; and, though our ser 

 vice is at all times the best, we can serve

The new catalogs have arrived, and are 

 being mailed. You will soon receive one 

 if your name is on our trade list; other-

Have You Seen a Copy of the AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL 



since C. P. Dadant took hold (if it? He has made A NEW JOURNAL. 

 Former subscribers wouldn't recognize it as the same paper. 

 New subscribers send in letters of commendation every day. 



Some of the NEW Features are: 



A heavy cover of four pages, making id pages instead of 32. 

 About six times as many pictures and illustrations. 

 More interesting reading-matter, and more of it. 

 Higher-grade paper throughout. 



Here is What One Subscriber says : 



Allow me to congratulate you on the improvement in the Journal. It certainly hasn't 

 lost any thing in changing hands. I noticed at the Des Moines convention many spolce 

 encouragingly of the way the paper has been handled since "' THE DADANTS " got it 

 YOU CAN COUNT ON ME.
