Your Name and Address on One Side-==Three Bees on the Other 3ide.

HONEYVILLE, O. 



[This Cut is the Full Size of the Knife.] 



Your Name on the Knife. — When ordering be sure to say just what name and address you wish 

 put on the knife. 



The Novelty Knife is indeed a novelty. The novelty lies in the handle. It is made beautifully 

 of indestructible celluloid, which is as transparent as glass. Underneath the celluloid, on 

 one side of the handle, is placed the name and residence of the subscriber, and oa the 

 other side pictures of a queen, drone, and worker, as shown here. 



The Material entering into this celebrated knife is of the very best quality; the blades are hand- 

 forged out of the very finest English razor-steel, and we warrant every blade. The bolsters 

 are made of German silver, and will never rust or corrode. The rivets are hardened Ger- 

 man-silver wire; the linings are plate brass; the back springs of Sheffield spring steel, and 

 the finish of the handle as described above. It will last a life-time, with proper usage. 



Why Own the Novelty Knife? In case a good knife is lost, the chances are the owner will 

 never recover it; but if the " Novelty " is lost, having name and addre.ss of owner, the finder 

 will return it; otherwise to try to destroy the name and address would destroy the knife. If 

 traveling, and you meet with a serious accident, and are so fortunate as to have one of the 

 "Novelties," your Pocket-knife will serve as an identifier; and in case of death, your 

 relatives will at once be notified of the accident. 



How Appropriate this knife is for a present ! What more lasting memento could a mother give to a son, a 

 wife to a husband, a sister to a brother, or a lady to a gentleman, the knife having the name of the recip- 

 ient on one side ?

 Journal for one year, both for 81.90. |^~Please allow about two weeks for your knife order to be filled.
