The Novelty Pocket= Knife. 



Vour Name and Address on one side— Three Bees on the other side.

HONEYVILLE, O. 



[This Cot is the Full Size of the Knife.] 



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

 address 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 fflass. 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 haud-forg-ed out of the very finest English razor-steel, and 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 lininf^rs are plate brass; 

 the back spring-s 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 destroj' the knife. If traveling-, and you meet with a serious accident, and are so for- 

 tunate as to have one of the "Novelties," your Pocket-Knife will serve as an identifier; and in 

 case of death, your relatives will at once be notified of the accident. 



How appropriate this knife is for a present! What more lasting- raemento could a mother 

 give to a son, a wife to a husband, a sister to a brother, or a lady to a g-entleman, the knife having- 

 the name of the recipient on one side? 



The accompanying- cut gives a faint idea, but cannot fully convey an exact representation of 

 this beautiful knife, as the ** Novelty " must be seen to be appreciated. 



How to Get this Valuable Knife.— We send it postpaid for $110, or give it as a Premium to the 

 one sending us \ hkee new subscribers to the Bee Journal (with $3.00.) We will club the Novelty 

 Knife and the Bee Journal for one year, both for $1.90.

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, July 7. — Some new white comb 

 lioncy is selling- at 15c; not much offered and 

 not much demand for it. Extracted is slow 

 sale; best while, "feTJ^c; best amber, i*yiOi<t%c\ 

 dark amber, ?■(« S]/ic. Beeswax, 27(aiiSc. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati, July 20.— White extracted honey, 

 7faj.7^c; southern extracted, S'if^'f.J^c, owing- to 

 quality. No comb honey on market, (iood de- 

 mand for beeswax at 2S(hiZic. 



Shipments of extracted honey from the South 

 are more numerous than a few weeks ag-o, but 

 we find it hard to make sales, owing- to a slow 

 demand. C. H. W. Weber, 214<j Central Ave.. J 



Buffalo, July 20.— For strictly fancy white 

 one-pound comb honey we are g-etting- 16r5l7c. 

 Any g-rade sells hig-h— lOrgilSc, as to grade. 



Batterson & Co, 



Kansas Citv, July 20.— We quote: NewNo.l 

 white comb, 14@l5c; No. I amber, 14c; dark, 13c. 

 Extracted, old, 6@634; no new in market. Bees- 

 wax, 22(^2Sc. C. C. Clemons & Co 



Detroit, July 24.— Fancy white comb, 15@16c; 

 No 1, white, 14@15c; amber and dark, 10@12c. 

 Extracted, white, 7c; amber and dark, S^-dz. 

 Beeswax, 25to2(jc. 



Suppl_v and demand for honey both limited. 

 M. H. Hunt & Son, 



New York, July 26.— There is a fair demand 

 for white comb honey, and enough arriving 

 from the South to supply the demand. Fancy 

 white sells at 15c; No. 1 white, 13tol4c; No. 2 

 white, ll(a'12c. Extracted remains rather quiet, 

 and the market is sufficiently stockt to meet the 

 demand. Beeswax very firm at 28(fi'2'^c. 



HiLDRETH & SeGELKEN, 



San Francisco, July 18.— White comb, 123 

 1254c; amber, 9@ll; dark, o?^(<.'7Kc. Extracted* 

 white, 7^@8c; liffht amber, 7@7Kc; amber, 

 b<^ii%c. Beeswax, 26@27c. 



Amber grades are in fair supply, both comb 

 and extracted, and there is a moderate business 

 doing- in the same at prevailing figures, mostly 

 in a small jobbing way and on local account. 

 Larg-e dealers are purchasing only to fill imme- 

 diate orders, not caring- to stock up at present 

 prices. Water-white honey is scarce and in a 

 limited way is salable at tolerably stiff fig-ures. 



WANTED-HONEY AND BEESWAX. 



We have a tremendous and growing- trade in 

 this line, and would like to hear from all who 

 have such groods to sell in any part of the coun- 

 try, with quality, description, and lowest cash 

 price. Thos. C. Stanley & Son, Fairfield, 111.
