A Cellnloid Queen-Bntton 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, 

 anU frequently leads to a 

 sale. 



Note.— One reader writes: 

 " I have eTcry reason to be- 

 lieve that it vrouid be a very 

 good idea forev-ry b«ie-keeper 

 to Vear one [of ^ le DaUonsj 

 as it will cause people to ask 

 questions aboat the busy bee, and many a con- 

 versation thus started would wind 'xp with the 

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

 give the bee-keeper a superior Opportnnity to 

 ealighten many a person ia reg'ard to honey 

 cud bees." j 



The picture shown herewith ts a reprouuC/- 

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

 nishing' to bee-Ifeepers. It has a pin on the 

 aaderside to fasten it. 



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

The Novelty Pocket= Knife. 



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



HOWARD M. MELBEEp 



HONEYViLLE, O. 



[This Cut is the if'ci-r.. Size of the Knife.] 



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

 T;ddress you wish put on the Kdite. 



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 g^lass. Un- 

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

 the subscriber, and on the other side pict.,res 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 haud-forg-ed out of the very finest Eug-lish razor-steel, and we war- 

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

 corrode. The rivets are hardened German silver wire; the liuing-s 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 pood knife is lost, the chances are the 

 owner will never recover it; but if the ** Novelty " is lost, haviufj 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 fci* 

 tunate as to have one of the '* Novelties," your Pocket-Knife will serve as an identifier; and ic 

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



How appropriate this knife is for a present! What more lasting" memento could a mothsi 

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

 the name of the recipient on one side ? 



The accompanyintr cut ^'ives a faint idea, but cannot fully convey an exact represeutation of 

 this^beautiful knife, as tl>** ** Novelty" must be seen to be appreciated. 



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

 one sending us ^hhee nf.w subscribers to the Bee Journal (with$^ •».! We will club the Noveltj 

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