THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL, 



August 18, 



THE BIGGEST OFFER YET ! 



Last year only about one percent —only one 

 subscriber In 100— ordered his Review discon- 

 tinued. If tiie Review could secure 1.000 

 new subscribers the present year, there is an 

 almost absolute certainty that at least 900 of 

 them would remain; not only next year, but 

 for several years— as long' as they are inter- 

 ested In bees. Once a really good bee- jour- 

 nal visits a bee-keeper a whole year It usually 

 becomes a permanent member ot his family. 



I would have no difficulty whatever in get- 

 ting twice 1,000 new subscribers this year. If 

 all of the bee-keepers in this couolry had 

 read the review the past year. 1 have some- 

 times thought that it might pay a publisher 

 to give away his journal one year, simply for 

 the sake of getting it into new hands. There 

 are. of course, decided objections to such a 

 course; but I am goinir to come as near to it 

 as 1 dare. Here Is my offer: 



If you are not a subscriber to the Review, 

 send me $1.00. and I will send you twelve 

 back numbers, the Review the rest of this 

 year and all of next year. 



Each issue of the Review, especially if de- 

 voted to the discussion of some special topic, 

 is really a pamphlet containing the best 

 thoughts and experience of the best men 

 upon the topic under discussion. Twelve 

 back numbers of the Review are, to a certain 

 extent, so many little books devoted to as 

 many different phases of bee-keeping. Some 

 issues ot the Review are now out of print; of 

 others only a few are left; while of others 

 there are several hundred. Of course. I shall 

 send those ot which 1 have the most, but no 

 two alike. 



Most people subscribe for a journal at the 

 beginning of the year. In this cuse there is 

 no useof'waltiQjEr. as you will get the Review 

 tor nest year just the same as tho you 

 waited until next January to subscribe, and 

 you get all thp rest of the numbers for this 

 year FREd:. The sooner you subscribe, the 

 more free issues will you receive. 



Let me tell it over once more. For $1.00 

 you get twelve back numbers, the Review the 

 rest of this year, and lor all of 1S90.

great deal more propolis than they need, 

 judged by our standards at least. Others 

 gather a much smaller quantity. At a 

 time when bees are gathering honey 

 very freely they gather comparatively 

 little propolis. We can certainly greatly 

 lessen the quantity of propolis gathered 

 and its deposit in the hive by a proper 

 construction of the hive and fixtures.
