(This cut is the full 6ize of the Knife.) 



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 arjd 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 blades are hand-forged out of the very finest English 

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

 proper usage. 



Why Own the Novelty Kniie? — In case a good knife is l06t, 

 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 Knife. — We send it postpaid for 

 81.25, 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.) 



SOLID GOLD FOUNTAIN PEN 



Finally we have found a good Fountain Pen that is reasonable in 

 price. The manufacturers of this pen 6ay that if you pay more than 

 $1.25 for other fountain pens, it's for the name. 



This pen is absolutely guaranteed to work perfectly, and give sat- 

 isfaction. The Gold Nibs are 14 kt., pointed with selected Iridium. 

 Drone T^e Holders are Para Rubber, handsomely finished. The simple feeder 

 gives a uniform flow of ink. Each pen is packed in a neat box, with 

 directions and Filler. y y s i 2e

 weekly American Bee Journal for a whole year.
