GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



637 



The Biggest Offer Yet ! 



I,ast j^ear only about one per cent — only one sub- 

 scriber in 1(X)— ordered his Review discontinued. If 

 the Review could secure 1000 new subscribers the 

 present j'ear, 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 ^owf 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 read the Review the past 

 year. I have sometimes thought that it might pay a 

 publisher to give away his' journal one jear, 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 

 SI. 00, and I will send you twelve back numbers, the 

 Review the rest of this year and all of next year. 



W. Z, HUTCHINSON, 



Kach issue of the Review especially if devoted to 

 the discu.ssion 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 issues of the Review 

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

 while of others there are several huncired. 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 }'Ou will get the Review for next year just the 

 same as though you waited until next January to sub- 

 scribe, and you get all the rt.st of the numbers for this 

 year /;•<'<?. The sooner you svib.scribe, the more free 

 issues will you receive. 



I,et :ne 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.
