 Write for it. 



We have arranged with an expert short-hand reporter to '• take do\»^n," for the American Bee Tournal, the 

 proceeding.s of the Omaha convention of the United States Bee-keepers' Union, to be held Sept. U, U. and lo. 

 Every bee-keeper in the world will want to read that leport. even if he has attended the meeting. In order 

 that the readers of Gleanings (who do not now get our paper) may read that report, and also get acquainted 

 with the Bee Journal, we want to make them the following 



Three Big Offers. 



No. 1.— Send us $l.oo, and get the old American Bee Journal from July i, 1898, to the end of 1899—78 cop- 

 ies for only SI. 00 ! , ^, ^ ,t,f,o „£, ■ r 

 No. 2.— Or .send us 30 cents, and get the American Bee Journal the last 6 months of 1898—26 copies tor 



only 30 cents ! . , ^, ^. •*!.-> 



No. 3.— Or send us 20 cents, and we will mail you the American Bee Journal from the time we receive the Zo 

 cents to the end of 1898. So the sooner you order, the more you will get on this third offer.
