Patent Wired Comb Foundation

Being the cleanest is usually worked the quick- 

 est of any Foundation made. The talk about wir- 

 ing frames seems absurd. We furnish a Wired 

 Foundation that is better, cheaper and not half the 

 trouble to use tiiat it is to wire brood-frames.

Last vear only about 1 per cent.— only one sub- 

 scriber'in 100- orderedhis Review discontinued. 

 If the Review could secure 1,000 new subscribers 

 the present vear.there is almost absolute certainty 

 that at least 900 of them would remain, not only 

 next year, but for several years— as long as they 

 are interested in bees. Once a really griod journal 

 visits a bee-keeper a whole year, it usually be- 

 comes a permanent member of his family. 



I would have no difHculty whatever in getting 

 twice 1,000 new subscribers this year if all the 

 bee-keepers in this country ha'l reml the Ik' view 

 the past year. I have sometimis ihuimiit, it iniiiht 

 pas a publisher to give away his i(j\inial one year, 

 simply for the sake of getting it into new hands. 

 There are, of course, decided objections to such a 

 course, but I .am going to come as near to it as I 

 dare. Here is my offer: 



If you are not a subscriber to the Review. send me 

 ¥1.00 and 1 will send vou twelve back numbers, the 

 Review the rest of tliis year, and all of next year. 



Each issue of the Review, especially if devoted 

 to the discussion of some special topic, is really 

 a pamphlet containing the best thoughts and ex- 

 perience of the best men upon the topic under 

 discussion. Twelve back numbers of the Review 

 are, to a certain extent, so many little books de- 

 voted to as many different phases of bee-keeping. 

 Some issues of the Review are now out of print: 

 of others only a few copies are left; while of 

 others there are several hundred. Of course I 

 shall send those of which I have the greatest 

 number. 



Most people subscribe for a journal at the be- 

 ginning of the year. In this case there is no use 

 of waiting, as you will get the Review for next 

 vear just the same as though you waited until 

 iiext January to subscribe; and you will get the 

 rest of the numbers for this year, /jw. The sooner 

 you subscribe, the more free issues you will re- 

 ceive. 



Let me tell it once more: For fl.OO you can get 

 twelve back numbers, the Review the rest of this 

 year, and all of 1899. ■
