We are accumulating 1 quite a stock of engrav- 

 ings that have been used in the American Bee 

 Journal. No doubt many of them could be used 

 again by bee-keepers in their local newspapers, 

 on their stationery, or in other ways. Also, if 

 we can sell some of them it would help us to 

 pay for others that we are constantly having 

 made and using- in our columns. If there is ar y 

 of our engravings that any one would like xc 

 have, just let us know and we will quote a ver> 

 low price, postpaid. Address,
