Why Not Just Double 



The List of Subscribers to the Old American Bee Journal ? 



We really believe that if ALL the present readers of the American Bee Journal were so inclined, they 

 could help to double its regular list of subscribers before August 1, 1899— or during- the next S or 6 weeks. 

 We do not find any fault with what our .subscribers have done in the past toward increasing; the list 

 of Bee Journal readers— for they have done nobl_\ — but why couldn't the doubling- of the list be accomplisht 

 within the next month ? We surely think it could be done, and in order that it may be easier for tho.se who 

 help in it, we will make a SPECIAL NEW SUBSCRIPTION OFFER, and also pay all who will aid in se- 

 curing new subscribers. Here is the offer : 



Six Months for 40 Cents 



Yes, we will send the American Bee Journal EVERY WEEK from July 1, 1899, to Jan. 1, 1900—26 

 numbers for only 40 cents, to a NEW subscriber. In addition to this we will send to the present regular 

 subscribers, for the work of getting new 6-months' readers, their choice of the premiums mentioned below, 

 but no premium will also be given to any new subscriber on these offers, under any circumstance : 



to a New Subscriber.
