How does this strike you? 



We still have a few copies of the 

 Beekeepers' Directory (bound in paper) 

 which we shall dispose of as follows : 



To those who renew their subscription 

 to the Api at once, and to all new sub- 

 scribers, we shall send the Journal, 

 also Thirty Years Among the Bees and 

 the Directory for the sum of $1.25, 

 Now is the time to get the largest amount 

 of bee literature for the smallest sum. 



A splendid offer. 

 We have just received from the fac- 

 tory five hundred drone-and-queen 

 traps. If any one is disposed to pur- 

 chase them at this time we shall sell 

 half dozen in flat, one made, seven traps 

 in all, and give the purchaser an indi- 

 vidual right to manufacture the traps 

 for his own use for the small sum of 

 $3.00. If you wish one dozen traps(13) 

 and individual right, we will ship tliem 

 for $4.00. Those who purchase fifty 

 traps for $10.00 will get an individual 

 right to make 100,000 or an unlimited 

 number of traps for their own use. 



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 trap^ you 

 purchase 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 pur- 

 chased of us in the first 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 the ma- 

 terial for them from their nearest deal- 

 er. 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, 

 express charges on one dozen traps. 



We want agents in every part of the 

 country, and know of no better way 

 to establish them than the above plan. 



There is nothing in the way of bee 

 supplies that sells so readily as the 

 drone-and-queen traps. To any one 

 who will purchase one hundred traps 

 for $20 we will present a township right. 



Now is your time to get the traps 

 at a low figure.
