A Celluloitl Queen-Button is a verv 



pretty thing for a bee-keeper or honey-seller 

 to wear on his coatrlapel. It often serves to in- 

 troduce the subject of honey, 

 and frequently leads to a 

 oale. 



Note. — One reader writes: 

 " I have every reason to be- 

 lieve tnat it would be a very 

 good idea for eviry bee-keeper 

 to wear one [of -.le bu^tonsi 

 as it will cause people t.^ ask 

 questions aooat tbe busy bee, and many a con- 

 versation thus started would wind ap with the 

 Bale of more or less honey; at any rate It would 

 give the bee-keeper a superior opportunity tc 

 enlighten many a person in regard to honey 

 and bees." t 



The picture shown herewith Is a reproaao^ 

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

 aishing to bee-keepers. It has a pin on the 

 tmderside to fasten it. 



Price, by mall, 6 cents; two for 10 cents i 

 W 6 for 25 cents. Send all orders to the office

The Novelty Pocket = Knife. 



Your Name and Address on one .side— Three Bees on the other side. 



HOWARD M. MELBEEg 



HONEYVILLE, O. 



[This Cut is thk i-'ULL Size of the Knife.] 



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 Ues In the handle. It is 

 raade beautifully of indestructible celluloid, which is as transparent as glass. Un- 

 "erdeath the celluloid, on one side of the handle is placed the name and residence of 

 -iie subscriber, 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 war- 

 rant every blade. The bolsters are raade 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 ca£.e a good knife is lost, 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; otherwise to try to destroy the name and ad- 

 dress, would destroy the knife. If traveling, and you meet with a serious accident, and are so foa- 

 tunate as to have one of the ''Novelties," your Pocket-Knife 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 presenti What more lasting memento could a raothet 

 give to a son, a wife to a husband, a sister to a brother, or a lady to a gentleman, the knife having 

 the name of the recipient on one side? 



The accompanying cu/ gives a faint idea, but cannot fully convey an exact representation of 

 Ihis'beautiful knife, as th* " Novelty " must be seen to be appreciated. 



How to Get this Valuable Knife.— We send it postpaid for $1.25, or give it as a Premium to the 

 one sending us ihkki-: new subscribers to the Bee Journal (withS-'^'X).) We will club the Noveltj 

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