 unless such name or names form a part 

 of a club of at least three subscribers.

 the American Bee Journal as it arrives 

 from week to week, is very convenient. 

 You should have one, as it is so handy 

 for reference from time to time. We 

 mail it for only 50 cents, or will give it 

 as a premium for two new subscribers, 

 with $2.00. 



Lost Copies we are glad to replace, if 

 notified before the edition is exhausted.

 your renewal. For this work we offer 

 some excellent premiums that you ought 

 to take advantage of.
