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 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 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, 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. 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 nam©»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 11.25, 

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

 for $2.00. (Allow two weeks for Knife order to ise filled.)

A SOLID GOLD FOUNTAIN PEN 



Finally, we have found a good Fountain Pen that is reasonable in price. 

 The manufacturers of this pen say that if you pay more than $1.25 for other 

 fountain pens, it's for the name. 



This pen is absolutely guaranteed to work perfectly, and give satisfac- 

 tion. The Gold Nibs are 14 kt., pointed with selected Iridium. The Holders 

 are Para Rubber, handsomely finished. The simple feeder gives a uniform 

 flow of ink. Each pen is packed in a neat box, with directions and Filler. 



We mail this Gold Fountain Pen for only $1.25, or for $2.00 we will 

 mail it and the weekly American Bee Journal for a whole year. 



J^" Sample copy of the American Bee Journal free; trial trip of three 

 months (13 copies) for 20c; regular yearly price, $1.00.
