NOVELTY POCKET-KNIFE 



(Name and Address on one side— Three Bees on the other side.) 



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

 just what name and address you 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 of the 

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

 other side pictures of a Queen, Drone, and Worker, as shown here. 



The Material entering into this celebrated knife is of the very 

 best quality ; the blade6 are hand-forged out of the very finest English 

 razor-6teel, and we warrant every blade. It will last a life-time, with 

 proper usage. 



Why Own the Novelty Knife?— 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 finder will return it. 

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

 fortunate as to have one of the " Novelties," your Pocket-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 for 

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

 year — both for $2.00. (Allow two weeks for Knife order to be filled.)
