GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



601 



The Biggest Offer Yet ! 



I,ast year only about one per cent — only one sub- 

 scriber in 100 — ordered his Review discontinued. If 

 the Review could secure 1000 new subscribers the 

 present year, there is an almost absolute certainty 

 that at least 900 of them would remain; not only next 

 year, but for several years — as long as they are inter- 

 ested in bees. Once a really good bee journal visits a 

 bee-keeper a whole year, it usually becomes a perma- 

 nent member of his family. 



I should have no difficulty whatever in getting 

 twice 1000 new subscribers this year, if all of the bee- 

 keepers in this country had reacl the Review the past 

 year. I have sometimes thought that it might pay a 

 publisher to give away his journal one year, simply 

 for the sake of getting it into new hands. There are, 

 of course, decided objections to such a course; but I 

 am going to come as near to it as I dare. Here is my 

 offer: 



If you are not a subscriber to the Review, .send me 

 Sl.OO, and I will send you twelve back numbers, the 

 Review the rest of this year and all of next j-ear. 



W. Z. HUTCHINSON, 



Each issue of the Review especially if devoted to 

 the discussion of some special topic, is really a pam- 

 phlet containing the best thoughts and experience of 

 the best men upon the topic under discussion Twelve 

 back numbers of the Review are, to a certain extent, 

 so many little books devoted to as many different 

 phases of bee keeping. Some Lssues of the Review 

 are now out of print; of others only a few are left; 

 while of others there are several hundred. Of course, 

 I shall send those of which I have the most, but no 

 two alike. 



Most people subscribe for a journal at the begin- 

 ning of the year. In this case there is no use of wait- 

 ing, as you will get the Review for next year just the 

 same as though you waited until next January to sub- 

 scribe, and j-ou get all the rest of the numbers for this 

 year /;c^. The sooner you subscribe, the more free 

 issues will you receive. 



IvCt me tell it over once more. For $1.00 you get 

 twelve back numbers, the Review the rest of this year, 

 and for all of 1899.
