THE A ME RICAN A PIC UL TUB IS T. 



THE DRONE- AND -QUE KN TRAPS. 

 REDUCED PRICES. 



We have received from the factory a 

 large number of drone-and-queen traps. 

 If any one is disposed to purchase them 

 at this lime we shall sell half dozen in 

 flat, one made, seven traps in all, and 

 give the purchaser an individual right 

 to manufacture the traps for his own 

 use for the small sum of $3.00. If you 

 wish one dozen traps (13) and individ- 

 ual right, we will ship them for $4.00. 

 Those who purchase fifty traps, price 

 $10, will get an individual right to make 

 the traps, also the Api one year free. 



Now let me tell you something all 

 of you, or many of you, do not know 

 about ; at least nine out of every ten 

 persons do not. Do you know that you 

 can sell any or all the traps you pur- 

 chase of us in any place in the United 

 States where the territory is not sold? 

 You can come into our town and sell 

 these traps if they were purchased of 

 us in the hrst place. 



Now if we sell you one dozen traps 

 (13) you can sell every one of them 

 for 50 cents each. This will be $6.50. 

 You then have the right to make all 

 you can use in your own apiary. 



Those who have an individual right 

 to make the traps, can obtain t.he mate- 

 rial for them from their nearest dealer. 

 A person who owns a right to use and 

 manufacture a patented article has the 

 right to get his goods manufactured just 

 where he selects. So you see it will 

 pay you to purchase an individual right 

 in any case, as by so doing you can 

 more than save the price of it in ex- 

 press charges on one dozen traps. 



We want agents to sell the traps in 

 every county in the United States ; also 

 agents to introduce the Self-Hiver into 

 every apiary in America. Pay liberal.
