AMERICAN BEE {OURNAL 



Nov. IS. 1900. 



6 Reasons for Subscribing for 



Gleanings in Bee-Gulture at Once 



(1) 



Rest of the Year Free. 



All new subscriptions received from 

 this date until Jan. 1st, whether on a 

 clubbing offer or for Gleanings only, 

 will receive our Nov. ISth, Dec. 1st and 

 ISth issues free. 



(2) 



Our Market Reports 



are made up %vith the utmost care. We 

 not only show the prices at which 

 honey is selling in the large cities, but 

 our reports are always up-to-date, and 

 we give you the full addresses of the 

 best buyers. 



(3) 



Our Cojitributors 



are the best-known writers in Apicul- 

 tural field. We pay them well to give 

 our readers the results of their long 

 experience and experiments made with 

 new ideas and inventions. 



Our Editors 



(4) 



are visiting frequently the leading 

 apiaries of this country, and present 

 from time to time in Notes of Travel 

 and Editorial Columns sketches of 

 same, with illustrations, bringing our 

 readers, as it were, face to face with 

 the bee-keepers all over the land, as 

 well as their methods and conditions 

 under which they work. 



(5) 



Important Topics. 



As an illustration of determination 

 to serve bee-keepers we cite the matter 

 that has appeared in the last year in 

 our Columns on the new bee-disease — 

 Black Brood— which threatened to wipe 

 out the industry in some sections of 

 the country, and later has been found 

 in all parts of the United States. 



Because 



(6) 



we are preparing a series of articles on 

 Bottling Extracted Honey, and these 

 alone would be worth the subscription 

 price for a year. These will probably 

 appear before Jan. 1st, so send your 

 order at once. 



THE "POST" FOUNTAIN PEN. 



The very best in the market ; regular price $3, and not obtainable under 



this price anywhere. 



GIVEN 



ABSOLUTELY 



FREE 



For two new subscriptions to Gleanings and your own renewal with $3; 

 Or for one new subscription and your own renewal, with $2.50 ; 

 Or your own subscription will be advanced 2 years, and the pen furnisht 

 for $2.50. 



In eacli case all arrears, If any, must be paid in aiWitioii, the above offers being for sub- 

 sfi-iptions fully in advance only. We believe we can say truthfully, without fear of contradiction, 

 that no fountain pen ever put upon the market ever received in so short a time so many unso- 

 licited testimonials from such distintruisht men as the POST. The above drawing- shows its 

 construction. To till the POST, all you have to do is to dip the nib into the ink-bottle, draw 

 out the ]ilnngcr, and the pen is ready for use. Compare this with \niscrewing the ordinary 

 style, anil refilling with a glass tiller that you can not always find wlicn wanted. The self-clean- 

 ing feature <if the POST, as illustrated, will also commend itself. With most pens, specially 

 )ii-epaj'ed ink iinist be used or they are soon of no use, because they become so gunmied up. and 

 it is well nigh impossible to clean them. With the POST you simply dip the nib in water, draw 

 the plunger back and forth like a syringe or siiuirt-gini, and in less than five seconds it is clean 

 and free for a perfect flow of any ink that may be handy. We will send on request a few of the 

 many testimonials from noted men in various callings who have written merited words of praise 

 b>r this most valuable invention. We can not offer the pen l'i>r sale for less than SH.dd: but by 

 special arrangement we are able to offer it free as a premium with (ii.K,vNiN(iS in any of the fol- 

 lowing foudjinations : All arrears, if any, nuist first be paid at$l.()U a year. Then for $3.00 we 

 will send Gleanings for one year, or till .Jan, 1, 1902, to two new names; for one year to your- 

 self, and send you the pen free. For$3..50 we will send you the pen and Gt.e.\niN(;s for 1 year, 

 and to one new subscriber a year: for $2. .5(1 we will send the pen ami (li.E.\NiN(is for 2 years. If 

 you have ever been disappointed with a fountain pen we assure you that you will not be with 

 this one.
