Create a Local Honey Market. 



Now is the time to create Honey 

 Markets in every village, town and 

 city. Wide - awake honey producers 

 should get the Leaflets " Why eat 

 Honey" (only 50 cents per 100), or else 

 the pamphlets on " Honey as Food 

 and Medicine," and scatter them 

 plentifully all over the territory they 

 can supply with honey, and the result 

 will be a demand that will readily take 

 all of their crops at remunerative 

 prices. The prices for "Honey as Food 

 and Medicine " are as follows : 



Single copy 5 cts,; per doz., 40 cts ; 

 per hundred, $2.50. 500 will be sent 

 postpaid for $10.00 ; or IQQO for 

 $1500- On orders 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. 



^" To give away a copy of " Honey 

 as Food and Medicine " to every one who 

 buys a package of honey, will sell almost 

 any quantity of it. 



Convention Hand-Book. 



It is a nice Pocket Companion for 

 bee-keepers. It is beautifully printed 

 on toned paper, and bound in cloth- 

 price 50 cents. 



It contains a copy of a model 

 " Constitution and By-Laws " for tlie 

 formation of Societies for Bee-Keep- 

 ers— a simplified manual of Parlia- 

 mentary Law and Rules of Order for 

 the guidance of officers as well as 

 members, a blank form for making 

 statistical reports — a Programme 

 of questions for discussion at 

 such meetings— model Premium Lists 

 for Fairs which may be contracted or 

 enlarged, and then recommended to 

 the managers of adjacent County or 

 District Fairs— 32 blank leaves for 

 jotting down interesting facts, etc. 



We have aimed to make it suitable for 

 any locality, and a book that will com- 

 mend itself to every bee-keeper in the 

 English-speaking world. 



We have had some bound in Russia 

 leather, with colored edges— price 60 

 cents.
