After Jan. 1, 1910 



American Bee Journal $1 a Year 



For some time we have been considering tlie increase of the yearly subscrip- 

 tion price of tlie American Bee Journal from 7.'i cents a year to $1.00. In fact, 

 many of our best subscribers have written us that it really never should have been 

 reduced in price, in view of the richness of its contents and general helpfulness to 

 its readers. But among the real reasons for such increase are the greater cost of 

 its production, and that the present price of 7oc is, and has been, too low to main- 

 tain the "old reliable" American Bee Journal at its present high standard of ex- 

 cellence. .\nd. surely, no reader would want us to lower that standard in any 

 particular. 



We may say further that we are planning certain improvements that will in- 

 crease greatly the cost of publishing the .\merican Bee Journal another year — 

 improvements that will more than offset the small increase of 25 cents a year in 

 subscription price — even contemplating a 48-page Journal, if possible to do it. 

 The Editor is now devoting all of his time to the Bee Journal, which fact alone 

 should tend to make it more valuable as the months pass on. 



More than 3 Months Before the Raise in Price is 

 to Go into Effect 



But it will be noticed that the $1.IHI price does not become effective until Jan. 

 1st next, or over 4 months yet. And during the time interveiiin.g we are going to 

 allow all who wish to do so, to pay their subscriptions two years in advance 

 at the present 75-cent rate. That is, you can pay all back dues (if any) 

 and for all of lOln and 1911 at "•') cents a year. So, really, there will be no raise 

 in price for over 'I years to all who pay their subscriptions before next tTan. 1. 



Save 50 Cents by Subscribing Before Jan. 1st 



By paying subscriptions for lOKl and lit! I any time between now and the end 

 of this year (1900), you will save just 2.j cents a year, or .")(> cents. But we cannot 

 allow subscriptions to be paid beyond the year 1911 at the present 7.')-cent rate. 

 Please tell your neighbor bee-keepers about this, so that they, too, can take ad- 

 vantage of the special offer for 2 years beyond 1009. 



Clubbing and Special Offers to Stand the Rest of 

 this Year 



Our Special and Clubbing Offers will all stand until tlie end of this year (1900). 

 So none of our present subscribers can really object ti) the increase in subscrip- 

 tion price, for they have the opportunity of paying their subscriptions two whole 

 years beyond this year at the present 75-cent price — by sending them in before 

 next January 1. St. (Of course, if any have already paid their subscriptions 

 beyond 1011. such will stand as now cn-<lit('d.) 



You are invited to Help Increase the Bee Journal 

 Subscription List 



We offer many liberal premiums for getting new subscriptions for the .Amer- 

 ican Bee Journal. We hope our readers will do what they can to get their bee- 

 keeping neighbors to subscribe, and thus earn some of the premiums we offer. 

 Let us work together for each other's interest and advancement, and for the good 

 of bee-keep'Ts ■•v<Tv\vliere
