[This Cut is the i-'ui-L Size of the Knife.) 



Your Name on the Knife.— Wbea oiderlug", be sure to say just what name aud 



address you wish put on the Knile. 



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- 

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

 the subscriber, and on the other side pictu^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 hand-forged out of the very finest English 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 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 

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

 dress, would destroy the knife. If traveling, aud you meet with a serious accident, and are so foi» 

 tunate as to have one of the ** Novelties," j-our Pocket-Knife will serve as an identifier; and lit 

 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 mother 

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

 the name of the recipient on one side 7 



' The accompanying cu' gives a faint idea, but cannot fully convey an exact representation ot 

 this^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 ihkee new subscribers to the Bee Journal iwith$.^.'».) We will club the Novelty 

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