The Novelty Pocket-Knif e 



[A heavier and stronger knife than the one we offered heretofore.} 



HOWARD M. MELBEE, 



HONEYVILLE, O. 



(This Cut is the Full Size of the Knife.) 



Your Name on the Knife. — When ordering-, be sure to say just what name and address you 

 wish put on the Knife. 



The Novelty Knife is indeed a novelty. The novelty lies in the handle. It is made beautifully 

 of indestructible celluloid, which is as transparent as g-lass. Underneath the celluloid, on one side 

 of the handle is placed the name and residence of the Subscriber. 



The Material entering- into this celebrated knife is of the very best quality; the blades are 

 band-forg-ed out of the very finest English razor-steel, and we warrant every blade. The bolsters 

 are made of German silver, and will never rust or corrode. The rivets are hardened German silver 

 wire; the linings are plate brass; the back springs of Sheffield spring-steel, and the finish of the 

 handle as described above. It will last a lifetime, with proper usage. 



Why Own the Novelty Knife ? In case a good knife is lost, the chances are the owner will 

 never recover it: but if ihe Novelty is lost, having name and address of owner, the tinder will re- 

 turn it; otherwise to try to destroy the name and address, would destroy the knife. If traveling, 

 and you meet with a serious accident, and are so fortunate as to have one of the_ Noveltifts, your 

 Pocket-Knife v.'ill serve as an identifier; and in case of death, your relatives will at once be ap- 

 prised of the accident. 



How appropriate this knife is for a present 1 What more lasting memento could a mother 

 give to a son, a wife to a husband, a sister to a brother, or .a lady to a gentleman, the knife having 

 the name of the recipient on one side? 



The accompanying cut gives a faint idea, but cannot fully convey an e.xact representation of 

 this beautiful knife, as the " Novelty " must be seen to be appreciated. 



How to Get this Valuable Knife.— We send it postpaid for $1.25, or give it as a Premium to the 

 one sending us three new subscribers to the Bee Journal fwith $3.tXi), and we will also send to 

 each new name a copy of the Premium Edition of the book. Bees and Honey. We will club the 

 Novelty Knife and the Bee Journal for one year, both for $1.90.
