NOVELTY POCKET-KNIFE 



(Name and Address on one side— Three Bees on the other side. ) 



Your Name on the Knife. — When ordering, be sure to say just what 

 name aad 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 indesh-uctible celluloid, which is as trans- 

 parent as glass. Underneath the celluloid, on one side of the handle is placed 

 the name and residence of the owner, and on the other side pictures of a 

 Queen, Droae, aad 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. 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 address 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 to Get this Valuable Knife. — We send it postpaid for $1.25, 

 or club the Novelty Knife and the American Bee Journal for one year — both 

 for $2.00. (AUow two weeks for Knife order to be filled.)
