AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL.

son, to hold one meeting at his home ought 

 to call out a good attendance. But some- 

 how we are inclined to think that dear 

 Baby Fern will be a greater attraction 

 than the " orange blossom honey."' How- 

 ever, they may be synonymous in sweet- 

 ness; and we only wish we could be there 

 to "sample" both. 



Kig- Oirer to Kenewals. — We 



would like to call the attention of those 

 whose subscriptions expire with this 

 month, to the following paragraphs, in. 

 which we make a grand offer: 



Of course we hope to have your renewal. 

 With such offers as we are now making, 

 you certainly cannot refuse. There is no 

 other bee-paper in the United States in 

 which you get so much value for so little 

 cost as in the Americax Bee Joornal at 

 .$1.00 a year; and we trust, moreover, that 

 our old subscribers will show their appre- 

 ciation of our effort to give them the best 

 bee-paper at the lowest price, by prompt 

 renewals. Will not you ? 



Another Matter. — With such a journal 

 as we are publishing, and such terms as we 

 are offering, we ought to double the circu- 

 lation of the Bee Journal before spring. 

 If each of our present subscribers will 

 promptly renew, and at the same time send 

 us one new subscriber, this will be accom- 

 plished at once. 



Now, to secure one new subscriber to a 

 weekly paper like the Bee Journal, pub- 

 lished at only only $1.00 a year, is certainly a 

 very little thing for any one to do. It 

 would seem that any subscriber could 

 afford to do that as an expression of appre- 

 ciation of the opportunity to get the paper 

 for himself for only ?<1.00 a year. But we 

 don't ask you to do that. 



We Will Do Better. — If you will, be- 

 fore Jan. 15, 1894, send us your own re- 

 newal for one year, and send with it one 

 new yearly subscriber, we will consider it a 

 club of two, and give you any premium 

 offered for sending two new subscribers, on 

 page 773. 



Now we know you never had an offer 

 from any other bee-paper that would com- 

 pare with that. Just look at it all through. 



1st. We furnish you a weekly bee-paper 

 for only -SI. 00 a year. 



2nd. We give a premium for sending a 

 club of only two subscribers. 



3rd. We allow you to count your own 

 subscription as one of the club of two. 



Surely, we have a right to hope that 

 e>'e)-y expiring subscription will at once be 

 renewed, and at least one new subscriber 

 be sent with it. 



Why, on such oft'ers as we are making, if 

 you have not time to go out and get the 

 new subscriber, you could afford to send 

 the paper to some person as a Holiday 

 present. It would then only cost for your- 

 self and your friend about as much as your 

 own paper would usually cost, and you 

 would get your club premium besides. 



Let us have your renewal, and do all you 

 can to extend the circulation of the old 

 American Bee Journal. 



Tlie "l>ec»3" Isabel All whose 



address labels on their Bee Journal wrap- 

 pers read "Dec93," will please remember 

 that their subscriptions expire with the end 

 of this month ; and they are all most earn- 

 estly invited to renew, which we trust they 

 will do promptly. 



It has been the rule of the Bee Journal 

 for years to send it right along until the 

 subscribers order it discontinued, and pay 

 up all that is due, believing that the great 

 majority of readers so prefer it. Now, it is 

 very little trouble to drop us a postal card 

 if you do not want the Bee Journal after 

 your subscription expires, and it is scarcely 

 any more trouble to renew your s^ihscHptioH, 

 so why not do the latter ? We need your 

 company, and you want — yes, need — the Bee 

 Journal, so we earnestly invite you all to 

 remain with us during 1894 — yes, and some 

 more after that, we hope. 



Xlie Long' ^Vinter Kveiiings is 



just the time to " read up " on bee-keeping. 

 Look over our book list on the 3rd page of 

 this number of the Bee Journal, and then 

 order one or more books when renewing 

 your subscription. Our book clubbing of- 

 fers are found on page 799 of this issue also. 

 Look it over now, before you forget it. It 

 will pay you. 



Honey as Footl an<l Medicine is 



just the thing to help sell honey, as it shows 

 the various ways in which honey may be 

 used as a food and as a medicine. Try 100 

 copies of it, and see what good 'sales- 

 men " they are. See the third page of this 

 number of the Bee Journal for description 

 and prices.
