THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



445 



J^^jccial Notices. 



Exniiiine tlie Hate following your 

 name on the wrapper label of this 

 pajier; it iiulicates the end of the 

 month to which vou have paid your 

 subscription on the Bee Journal. 



For safety, wlien sending money to 

 this otiice get either a post office or ex- 

 press money order, a bank draft on 

 New York or Chicago, or register the 

 letter. Postage stamps of any kind 

 may be sent for amounts less than one 

 dollar. Local checks are subject to a 

 discount of i5 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. 



^^ 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 " Madison street Sta- 

 tion "is not an International office. 



^g" 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. 



t^ 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. 



1^" We now club the Biituih Bee 

 Journal and our Monthly for $2.50, or 

 it and the Weekly for S3. -50. 



(liETTlNG UP CLUBS. 



To increase the number of readers 

 of the Bee Journal, we believe, will 

 aid progressive bee-culture and help 

 to elevate the pursuit. We.therefore, 

 offer the following premiums for 

 getting up clubs : 



While no subscription to the Bee 

 Joui:nal will be taken for less than 

 the regular advertised prices (viz. : 

 Weekly, $2.00 ; Monthly, $1.00),— any 

 one getting up a club of two copies, 

 or more, may select from " Our Book 

 List " anything therein named, to 

 the amount of 1-5 cents for every dollar 

 they send direct to this office, to pay them 

 for the trouble of getting up the club ; 

 and these books will be sent, postpaid, 

 to any address desired. 



For a club of 3 Weekly or 6 Monthly 

 and $6.00, we will make an additionnl 

 present of a Pocket Dictionary, bound 

 in cloth, containing 320 pages. 



For a club of 5 Weekly or 10 

 Monthly, (or a mixed club of both,) 

 with $10, we will, in addition to the 

 15 per cent, present a copy of the

Advertisers' Opinion. 



My advertisement in the Bee Jour- 

 nal, has brcuight me over 400 re- 

 sponses. Du. G. L. Tinker. 



New Philadelphia, O. 



The queen business is ntsliing, and 

 we think the Bee Journal deserves 

 much credit as an advertising medium. 

 E. A. Thomas & Co. 



Colerain, Mass. 



Having advertised in the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journ.\l quite extensively 

 for the past two years, I would say 

 (without solicitation) that it has sold 

 more queens for me than any other 

 three periodicals I have ever tried. 



My bees are in fine condition this 

 spring. I have lost Init 4 out of 182 

 colonies. The outlook is fine for a 

 good season. L. J. Diehl. 



Butler, Ind. 



The Bee Journal does its adver- 

 tising wonderfully well. It brought 

 to me responses from Canada to the 

 (4uU of Mexico, and from tlie Alle- 

 ghanies to the Rocky Mountains.

1^" A Canadian wishes us to state 

 in the Bee Journal. whether we take 

 Canadian money for suhsciiption or 

 books. We do ; and for fractions of a 

 dollar, Canadian postage stamps may 

 be sent.

 " Rational Bee-Keeping," we now

 lows : The Weekly for one year and

 Bee Journal and the book, $1 less

 ported book, printed in the English 

 language, and the price of the book is

^" Cook's ISIanual in cloth and the 

 Weekly Bee Journal for one year 

 will be sent for $3. ]Manual and 

 Monthly, $2.00. We have no more of 

 the old edition left, and, therefore, the 

 club price of that edition at $2.75 and 

 $1.75 is withdrawn.

 their work in the apiary, should get a

The larger ones can be used for a 

 few colonies, give room for an increase 

 of numbers, and still keep the record 

 all together in one book, and are there- 

 fore the most desirable ones.

 we send for 10 cts. each, or $8 per 100.
