A Celluloid Queen-Button is a \e-T 

 pretty thing for a t)ee-keeper or hcney-seller 

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

 troduce t he subject of honey, 

 and frequently leads to a. 

 sale. 



Note.— One reaaei writes: 

 *' I have CTery reason to be- 

 lieve that it would DC a very 

 goodideaforev-ry bee-keeper 

 to wear one [of cae uuitonsj

 .^ncsttous aDout the busy bee, and man? a con- 

 versation tnus started would wind ip w-fch the 

 oaie of more or less honey: at any rate it would 

 g-ive the bee-keeper a superior opportuntty to 

 enlighten many a person in regard to honey 

 and bees.'' j

The Novelty Pocket=Knife. 



Your Name and Address on one side— Tbree Bees on the otber side. 



Vour Name on the Knife.— When oiderlug, be sure to say just what name and 



idilress you wish put on the Knite. 



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. Un- 

 'erneath the celluloid, on one side of the handle is placed the name and residence of 

 ■-lie subscriber, and on the other side pictures of a Queen, Drone, and Worker, as 

 shown here. 



The Material entering into this celebrated kntfe is of the very best quality; 

 the blades are hand-forged out of the very finest English razor-steel, and we war- 

 i-ant every blade. The bolsters are made of German silver, and will never rust or 

 corrode. The rivets are hardened German silver wire; the linings are plate brass; 

 the back springs of Sheffield spring-steel, and the finish of the handle as described 

 above. It will last a last-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 

 ')f owner, the finder will return it; otherwise to try to destroy the name and ad- 

 dress, would destroy the knife. If traveling, and yon meet with a serious accident, and are so foi* 

 lunate as to have one of the *' Novelties," jour Pocket-Knifs will serve as an identifier; and la 

 case of death, your relatives will at once be notified of the accident. 



How appropriate this knife is for a preseuti What more lasting memento could a motlisr 

 ■^ive to a son, a wife to a husband, a sister to a brother, or a ladv to a gentleman, the knife having- 

 :*ae name of the recipient on one side? 



The accompanying cu( gives a faint idea, but cannot fully convey an exact representation oi 

 :his^beautiful knife, as tb* ** Novelty " must be seen to be appreciated. 



How to Get this Valuable Knife.— We send it postpaid for $1.25, or g-ive it as a Premium tot'-* 

 one sending- us ^hkee new subscribers to the Bee Journal (with$-vOO.) We will club the Novelty 

 knife and the Bee Journal for one year, both for $1.90.
