To Correspondents. — It would save 

 US much trouble, if all would be particular 

 to give their P. O. address and name, when 

 writing to this office. We have several letters 

 {some inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others having no Post>OfBce, County 

 or State. Also, if you live near one post- 

 office and get your mail at another, be sure 

 to give the address we have on our list. 



Money Orders can now be obtained at 

 the Post Offices at reduced rates. Five 

 dollars and under costs now only 5 cents. 

 As these are absolutely safe, it will pay to 

 get them instead ot the Postal Notes which 

 are payable to any one who presents them, 

 and are in no way safe. 



Preserve your Papers for reference. 

 If you have no BINDER we will mall you 

 one for 60 cents, or you can have one free 

 If you will send us 3 new yearly subscrip- 

 tions for the Bee Journai.. 



Colored Fosters for putting up over 

 honey exhibits at Fairs are quite attractive, 

 as well as useful. We have prepared some 

 for the Bee Jodrnal, and will send two or 

 more free of cost to any one who will use 

 them, and try to get up a club. 



We -will Present Webster's Dictionary 

 (pocket edition), and send it by mail, post- 

 paid, for two subscribers with $2. It is 

 always useful to have a dictionary at hand 

 to decide as to the spelling of words, and to 

 determine their meaning. 



One Dollar invested for the weekly visits 

 ot the American Bee Journal for 1887, 

 will richly repay every apiarist in Amerloa. 



Red Labels for one-pound pails of 

 honey, size 3x4(4 inches. — We have now 

 gotten up a lot of these Labels, and can 

 supply them at the following prices : 100 

 for $1.00 ; 250 for$1.50 ; 500 for $2.00 ; 1,000 

 for $3.00 ; all with name and address of 

 apiarist printed on them— by mail, postpaid.

By Using the Binder made expressly 

 for this Bee JonRNAi,, all can have them 

 bound and ready for examination every day 

 in the year. We have reduced the price to 

 60 cents, postpaid. Subscription for one

 will be sent free upon application. Any one 

 intending to get up a club can have sample 

 copies sent to the persons they desire to in- 

 terview, by sending the names to this office, 

 or we will send them all to the agent. 



Ifucca Bmslies are employed for re- 

 moving bees from the combs. They are a 

 soft, vegetable fiber, and do not irritate the 

 bees. As each separate fiber extends the 

 whole length of the handle as well as the 

 brush, they are almost indestructable. 

 When they become sticky with honey, they 

 can be washed, and when dry, are as good 

 as ever. The low price at which they are 

 sold, enables any bee-keeper to have six or 

 more of them, so as to always have one 

 handy. We can supply them at 5 cents 

 each, or 50 cents a dozen ; if sent by mail, 

 iidd 1 cent each for postage 



Wtoen Renewing your subscription 

 please try to get your neighbor who keeps 

 bees to Join with you in taking the Bee 

 JotjRNALi. It is now 80 cheap that no one 

 can afford to do without it. We will present 

 a Binder for the Bee Journal to any one 

 sending us three subscriptions— with $3.00— 

 direct to this office. It vrlll pay any one to 

 devote a few hours, to get subscribers. 



The Western World Gnide and Hand- 

 Book of Useful Information, contains the 

 greatest amount of useful information ever 

 put together in such a cheap form. The 

 printing, paper, and binding are excellent, 

 and the book is well worth a dollar. To any 

 one sending us two new subscribers besides 

 his own, with $3.00, for one year, we will 

 present a copy of this valuable book. 



Tliere Is no nistake in insisting that— 

 as in all other things, so in advertising— the 

 best is the cheapest, no matter what its first 

 cost may be.
