 CASH PRIZES 



FEEE 



II INimil TO HILAR niUK 



i^ 



We have decided to offer TEN SPECIAL CASH PRIZES in addition to the 

 regular premiums, for getting new subscriptions to the Weekly American Bee 

 Journal. The 1st Prize will be $10 ; the 2d, $9 ; 3d, S8 ; 4th, $7 ; Sth, $6 ; 6th, $S ; 

 7th, 14 ; Sth, $3 ; 9th^ $2 ; and 10th, «1.00. 



Read the Following Conditions Very Carefully : 



1. This Special Cash Prize Contest will begin on the morning of March 20, and close the 

 evening of July 1. 



2. All who compete for the Cash Prizes must have their own subscription to the American 

 Bee Journal paid at least to the end of this year (1905). And each one competing for a Cash 

 Prize must have Five (5) new subscriptions to his or her credit before entering the contest for 

 Cash Prizes. That is, those who have sent in 1, 2, 3 or 4 new subscriptions will not be counted 

 as contestants for the Special Cash Prizes. You must have 5 to your credit, but need not send 

 in the 5 all at one time. 



3. New subscribers are considered as those who have not taken the American Bee Journal 

 regularly since 1903. That is, any one who is not getting it now, but received it during 1904, 

 would not be considered a new subscriber now. r 



4. A new subscriber must not be a member of the same family where the Bee Journal is 

 being taken now. A new subscriber must be in fact a new reader. 



5. Cash must accompany every order when sending in new subscriptions. And after any 

 regular subscriber has sent in 5 new ones, he will say when sending in the sixth new one that 

 he wishes to compete for a Cash Prize. Then we will enter his name on the Contestants' List. 

 (If all is not now plain, please ask any questions and we will try to clear up anything that ie 

 not understood).
