GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



Nov. 1. 



Two Years for $100. 



To raise a good crop of honey is one thing 

 — to sell it is another. 



To publish a good bee-journal is one thing 

 — to secure a big subscription list is another. 



Many bee-keepers pay a great deal of atten- 

 tion to the production of a good crop — and 

 let it sell itself. 



In years past I have worked a great deal 

 harder in trying to make a good bee-journal 

 than I have in trying to sell it. 



I thought : " If I make a good journal, peo- 

 ple will find it out." 



They won't. They have to be told of it 

 many times over — seeing several copies is 

 more convincing. 



Let me go back a little. I once thought 

 that no inducement should be offered a man 

 to subscribe — he should buy a journal simply 

 and solely for itself. 



This plan is dignified ; but, as a getter of 

 new subscribers it has no standing with "in- 

 ducements." 



To succeed, a journal must have subscribers. 

 The more subscribers, the better the journal — 

 the better the journal, the more subscribers. 



To cut it short, the publisher of a good 

 journal better offer such inducements that a 

 large number of people will subscribe, and 

 thus become acquainted with his journal. 



Here is my "inducement:" For |1.00 I 

 will send the Review for all of this year and 

 next. Two years for the price of one. 



I have been offering 12 back numbers free, 

 odd numbers, picked up here and there, such 

 as I could spare, but this stock is exhausted. 

 The ones sent out now will be consecutive 

 issues, for two years, beginning with last Jan- 

 uary. 



Send on your dollar, and, as soon as it is re- 

 ceived, I will send the back numbers for this 

 year, and then keep on sending the Review 

 from now to the end of next year.

BINGHAM SMOKER. 



Dear Sir:— Inclosed find $1.75. Please 

 send one brass Smoke engine. I have 

 one already. It is the best smoker I 

 ever used. Truly yours,

Bin g ham Brass Smokers 



Made of sheet brass, which does not ru.st or burn out ; should last 

 a lifetime. You need one, but they cost 25 cts. more than tin of the 

 same size. The little open cut shows our brass hinge put on the 

 three larger sizes. No wonder Bingham's 4-inch smoke-engine 

 goes without puffing, and does not drop inky drops. The perforated 

 steel fire-grate has 381 holes to air the fuel and support the fire. 



Heavy tin smoke-engine, 4-inch stove per mail, $1.50 ; 3J4-iiich, 

 11.10; 3-inch, 81.00; 254-inch, 90c; 2-inch, 65c. Bingham smokers are 

 the originals, and have all the improvements, and have been the 

 standard of excellence for 22 years. Only three larger ones brass.
