AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



Speaking of Family Story Papers, a 



well-known writer once said that the 

 Family Ledger published in Los Angeles, 

 Calif., is, without question, the cheapest 

 and best printed Illustrated family 

 weekly in the world. Over 60 complete 

 serials are run in a year's issue. The 

 paper has many copyrighted features, 

 and is illustrated each week. To those 

 who are unacquainted with this remark- 

 able periodical, a special offer is made 

 of 10 weeks for 10 cents. Few that 

 read story papers will allow an oppor- 

 tunity to pass whereby they can secure 

 so unique a paper for such a small sum.
