THE "NOVELTY" POCKET-KNIFE! 



GEO. W. YORK, 



CHICAGO, ILLS. 



Your Name on the Knife.— When ordering, be sure to Bay just what Name and 

 Address you wish put on the Knife. 



The NovELTV Knife Is Indeed a novelty. The novelty lies In the handle. It Ip made 

 beautituily of indestru 'tible celluloid, which is as transparent as (ilass. Underneath the 

 celluloid, on one ■tide ot the handle is placed an American Bee Jodrnal. reminder, and on the 

 other side, name and residence of the Subscriber. 



The material entering into this celebrated knife Is of the very best quality; the blades 

 ate handforged 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 briss; the back springs of Sheffield spring steel, and 

 the llnifti of handle iis described above. It will last a lifetime, with proper usage. 



Wiiypurcliase the IVovelty Knife? In case a giod knife is lost, the chances are, 

 the nwuer will never rec iver it; but if the Novelty is lost, hiiving name and address ot owner, 

 (lie finder will return it; otherwise to try to destroy the name anil address, would destroy the 

 knife. If traveling, and you meet with a serious accident, and are so fortunate as to have one 

 of the Novelties, your pocket, knife will serve as as an identifier; and in case of death, your 

 relatives will at once be apprised of the accident. 



How appropria'-o Ibis knife is for a Christmas. New Year or birthday present 1 What 

 more lasting memento could a m^ither give to a son. a wife to a husband, a sister to a brother, 

 a lady to a gentleman, or vice versa, a son to a mother, a husband to a wife, a brother to a sister 

 jr a gentleman to a lady — the knife having the name of the recipient on one side ? 



The accomtianying cut gives a faint idea, but cannot fully convey an exact representa- 

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



HoTV to Get this Valuable Knife — We send it postpalO. for$1.25, or give it as a 

 Premium to the one sending us three new Subscribers to the Bee Journal (with 1.3.00), 

 and we will also send to each new name a copy of the Premium Edition of the book '■ Bees and 

 Hone- " We club the Novelty Knife with the Bee Journal for one year, both for $1.90.
