THIS 



IS THE PHONE 

 FARM FOLKS 



In selecting a telephone for the farm line re- 

 member that repairs and tmkeringr cost money _ 



and waste time. Use the same judgment that you would m buying a 

 reaper The cheap telephone, like the cheap harvester, is out of ser- 

 vice most of the time. Its talking qualities are not lasting; it soon 

 L^cts weak, and is liable to cause you trouble all of the time. 



Stromberg-Carlson Telephones 



are the standard make for rural lines. Other manufacturers claim 



their instriiments are as cfood— they like to compare theirs with Strom- 



bersr-Carlson-but TIME will not bear out their claims. To avoid trouble, 



expense and disappointment, pay the trifle more and get the telephone with 



a reputation. Buy the SIromberg-Carlson— vou buy satisfaction. Free 



book. 80-D, "How the Telephone Helps the Farmer," tells a lot of rea- 



sons why it's the phone to huv: srives full description of every part and piece of a telephone: 



tells how it's made and illustrates where it's made. Write for the book today. Address

NOVELTY POCKET-KNIFE 



(Name and Address on one side — Tliree Bees on the other side J 



Your Name on the Knife.— When orderinpr, be sure to say 

 ju6t what name and address jou 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 glass. Underneath the celluloid, on one side ot the 

 handle is placed the name and residence of the owner, and on the 

 other fide 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-forged out of the very tinest English 

 razor-steel, and we warrant every blade. It will last a life-time, with 

 proper usage. 



Why Own the Novelty Knile'.' — 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 tinder will return it. 

 It traveling, and you meet with a serious accident, and are so 

 fortunate as to have one of the "Novelties," your Poceet-Knife will 

 serve as an identifier ; and, in case of death, your relatives will at once 

 be notified of the accident. 



How to Get this Valuable Knile.— We send it postpaid f( r 

 $1.25, or club the Novelty Knife and the American Bee .lournal for one 

 year — both forS'2 00. (Allow two weeks for Knife order to be filled.)
