The Novelty Pocket=Knife. 



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



HOWARD M. MELBEE, 



HONEYVILLE, O. 



[This Cut is tjjk r'ULi. Size of the Knife.] 



Your Name on the Knife.— WHnti oidenug, be sure to say just what name and 

 address .vou wish put on the Knite. 



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

 made beautifully of indestructible celluloid, which is as transparent as f^lass. Un- 

 derneath the celluloid, on one side of the handle is placed the uainr 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-forg-ed out of the very finest Enfflish razor-steel, and we war- 

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

 corrode. The rivets are hardened German silver wire: the lininj^s are plate brass; 

 the back sprinj^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 destroy the knife. If traveling, and you meet with a serious accident, and are so for* 

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

 case of death, 3'our relatives will at once be notified of the accident. 



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

 give to a son, a wife to a husband, a sister to a brother, or a lady to a gentleman, the knife having 

 the name of the recipient on one side? 



The accompanying cu/ gi res a faint idea, but cannot fully convey an exact representation of 

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



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

 Knife and the Bee Journal for one year, both for Sl.'io. 



son I beffan to think of the old Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal, and concluded to write 

 a postal and see if you were still in the 

 land of the living, and prosperous in 

 " the home of the brave." 



I have been keeping bees since 1876, 

 and oVjtained my first swarm on Whit- 

 sunday of that year, as I was takinp a 

 walk. Passinff aloiiff under a large 

 cherry-tree I heard a large humming 

 overhead, and upon looking up I dis- 

 covered a large cluster of blacks. To 

 secure the prize was the problem. In 

 half an hour everybody will be going 

 to church, and to be caught running to 

 a very religious neighbor aroused some 

 mental reservations ; besides, people 

 would exclaim, " Young was caught 

 violating the sanctity of the Sabbath." 

 But the fugitives must be captured, so 

 I decided. I went to the house and 

 said to my "better half," " Let's knock 

 the inside out of that humbug churn 

 that I was swindled in." "Agreed;" 

 and soon the contemptible churn was a 

 fair - looking receptacle for the 

 strangers. 



Out to the tree was the next move,
