J>pccial Doticcs. 



Examine the Date following your 

 name. on the wrapper label of this 

 paper; it indicates the end of the 

 month to which you have paid your 

 subscription on the Bee Journal. 



For safety, when sending money to 

 this office get eitherapost office or ex- 

 press money order, a bank draft on 

 New York or Chicago, or register the 

 letter. Postage stamps of unv kind 

 may be sent for amounts less than one 

 dollar. Local checks are subject to a 

 discount of 2.5 cents at Chicago banks. 

 American Express money orders for 

 $5, or less, can be obtained for 5 cents. 



We wish to impress upon every one 

 the necessity of being very specific, 

 and carefully to state what they desire 

 for the money sent. Also, if they live 

 near one post office, and get their mail 

 at another, be sure to give us the ad- 

 dress we already have on our books. 



^" When writing to this office on 

 business, our correspondents should 

 not write anything for publication on 

 the same sheet of paper, unless it can 

 be torn apart without interfering with 

 either portion of the letter. The edi- 

 torial and business departments are 

 separate and distinct, and when the 

 business is mixed up with items for 

 publication it often causes confusion. 

 They may both be sent in one envelope 

 but on separate pieces of paper. 



^f It must be understood that, 

 should an advertiser desire to cancel 

 an unexpired contract, he can do so 

 only by paying regular rates for the 

 number of insertions his advertise- 

 ment has had. 



^° All money orders from foreign 

 countries, should be made payable at 

 Chicago, as the " iladison Street Sta- 

 tion " is not an International office. 



^" In reply to many correspondents 

 let us say that we take any kind of 

 postage stamps at their face value — 

 including the 3 cent ones. Silver 

 should never be sent by mail, as it en- 

 dangers the loss of the letter either 

 by thieves, or else breaks through the 

 envelope and is lost in that way. 



^" We carefully mail the Bee 

 Journal to every subscriber, but 

 should any be lost in the mails we will 

 cheerfully send another, if notified 

 before all the edition is exhausted. 



«ETTIN(i 11' CLUBS. 



To increase the number of readers 

 of the ]5ek Jouunal, we believe, will 

 aid progressive bee-culture and help 

 to elevate the pursuit. We, therefore, 

 offer the following premiums for 

 getting up clubs : 



AVhile no subscriittion to the Bee 

 Journal will be taken for less than 

 the regular advertised prices (viz. : 

 Weekly, §2.00; :Moiithly, Sl.OO),— any 

 one getting up a club of two copies, 

 or more, may select from " Our Book 

 List " anythnig therein named, to 

 the amount of 15 cents for every dollar 

 iliey send direct to this office, to pay them 

 for the trouble of getting up the club ; 

 and these books will besent, postpaid, 

 to any address desired. 



For a club of H Weekly or 6 Monthly 

 and $6.00. we will make an additional 

 present of a Pocket Dictionary, bound 

 in cloth, containing 320 pages. 



For a club of 5 W^eekly or 10 

 Monthly, {or a mixed club of both,) 

 with $10, we will, in addition to the 

 1.5 per cent, present a copy of the 

 Ajierican "Popul.vr" Dictionary, 

 comprising every word in the English 

 language that enters into speech or 

 writing; it contains 32,000 words and 

 phrases,670 illustrations and 512 pages; 

 it is nicely bound in cloth, and will be 

 sent by mail, postpaid, to any address 

 desired. 



For a club of $20, for 10 Weeklies, or 

 an equivalent in Monthlies, we will 

 present, besides the 15 per cent, in 

 books, a tested Italian queen, by mail, 

 postpaid. 



Subscriptions for two or more years 

 for one person, will count the same 

 as each year for a different person. 



For a club of 100 Weekly (or its 

 equivalent in Monthlies), with $200, 

 we will send a Magnificent Organ 

 worth $150. See description on page 

 614 of the Weekly for Nov. 28, 1883. 



Honey as Food and Medicine. 



A pamphlet of 16 pages giving 

 Recipes for Iloney Medicines, all kinds 

 of cooking in which honey is used, and 

 healthful and pleasant beverages. 



We have put the price still lower, 

 to encourage bee-keepers to scatter 

 them far and wide. Single copy 5 

 cents, postpaid ; per dozen, 40 cents; 

 per hundred, $2.50. 500 will be sent 

 postpaid for $10.00 ; or 1000 for 

 $1500. On order-s of 100 or more, 

 we will print, if desired, on the 

 cover-page, "Presented by," etc., 

 (giving the name and address of the 

 bee-keeper who scatters them). This 

 alone will pay him for all his trouble 

 and expense — enabling him to dispose 

 of his honey at home, at a good profit.

acknowledge receipt of each subscrip-

 the proper credit is not given you, 

 within two weeks thereafter, on your 

 label, notify us by postal card. Do 

 not wait for months or years, and 

 then claim a mistake. The subscrip- 

 tion is paid to the end of the month 

 indicated on the wrapper-label. This 

 gives a contwnal staleinent of account.
