To Correspondents. — It would save 

 ■UB much trouble, if all would be particular 

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

 writingto this ofHce. We have several letters 

 (Bome inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others having no P08t>0fflce, 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 of 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 mail you 

 one for 60 cents, or you can have one free 

 If you will send us 3 new yearly subscrip- 

 tions for the Bee Journal. 



Colored Posters for putting up over 

 honey exhibits at Fairs are quite attractive, 

 as well as useful. We have prepared some 

 ■for the Bee Journal, and will send two or 

 more free of cost to any one who will use 

 <them, and try to get up a club. 



TVe will Present Webster's Dictionary 

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

 paid, for two subscribers with $3. 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 

 -of the American Bee Journal for 1887, 

 'Will richly repay every apiarist in America. 



Red Iiabels for one-pound pails of 

 honey, size 3x4V4 inches. — We have now
