A Good Bee=book with Each Subscription. 



Every bee-keeper (and especially the beginner with bees) ought to have a bee-book ; 

 and in order that you may easily afford to give the Bee Journal a trial, and also have a 

 good text book on the subject of bee-keeping, we wish to make you a very tempting offer. 

 We have just issued a new edition of the 160-page book called " Bees and Honey," that 

 is a most excellent little work, bound in neat paper cover and which retails at -50 cents. 

 But that you may not fail to become acquainted with the Bee Journal, and also own this 

 nice bee -book, we will say that we will mail you the Journal the balance of this year 

 (1898), with the book, both together for only 60 cents. We will begin your subscrip- 

 tion the week after receiving it, so the sooner you send us the 60 cents the more you will 

 get for it. This makes the Bee Journal cost you, for the remaining 8 months of this year, 

 only 10 cts. Think of it — a good book on bee-keeping and about 40 copies of the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal — All for only 6o eenls. Remember, please, that the above is a special 

 introductory price, and is made only as an inducement for you to give the Bee Journal a 

 trial. We need not say that it is a rare bargain — you know it is. Don't forget that you 

 get the Bee Journal every week from the time you subscribe until the end of 1898. 



You Can't Afford to Miss That Chance., 



Better send the 60 cents lo day. Send stamps if you prefer, though a post-office ; 

 money-order is safer, and costs only 3 cents. If you wish to see a sample copy first, send | 

 us your name and address on a postal card, asking for it. Be sure to say you saw this i 

 advertisement in GIvEANings, when you write. Address \
