A Celluloid Queen-Button is a verv 

 pretty thing for a bee-keeper or honey-seller 

 to wear on his coat^lapel. It often serves to in- 

 troduce the subject of honey, 

 and frequently leads to a 

 sale. 



Note.— One reader writes; 

 " I have every reason to be- 

 lieve that it would be a very 

 good idea forev.2/y bee-keeper 

 to wear one [of ihe buttonsj 

 as it will cause people to ask 

 questions about the busy bee, and many a con- 

 versation thus started would wind up with the 

 eale of more or less honey; at any rate it would 

 ^ive the bee-keeper a superior opportunity to 

 enlighten many a person in regard to honey 

 and bees." . 



The picture shown herewith Is a reprouuc- 

 flan of a motto queen-button that we are fur- 

 nishing to liee-keepers. It has a pin on the 

 underside to fasten it. 



Price, by mail, 6 cents; two for 10 cents;

 fine illustrations. It is printed on clear white paper, and 

 is bound in elegant brown cloth, gold-lettered. 



Prof. Cook has been one of the leading contributors to
