Am there Is Anotber firm in Chicago by 

 the name of " Newman & Son," we wish our 

 correspondents would write " American Bee 

 Journal " on the envelope when writing to 

 this ofBce. Several letters of ours have 

 already gone to the other firm (a commission 

 house), causing vexatious delay and trouble. 



To Correspondents. — It would save 

 UB much trouble, if all would be particular 

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

 writingto this office. We have several letters 

 (some inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others having no Post-Offlce, County 

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

 ofBce and get your mail at another, be sure 

 to give the address we have on our list. 



Xbe Convention History of America 



with a full report of the proceedings of the 

 Detroit and Indianapolis conventions, and 

 the American Bee Journal for one year, 

 will be clubbed for tl.25. 



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. 



1X~ Sample Copies of the Bee Journai, 

 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 olBce, 

 or we will send them all to the agent. 



The AVestem IVorld Cuide and Hand- 

 Book of Deetul 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 13.00, for one year, we will 

 present a copy of this valuable book. 



Yucca Brushes 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, 

 odd 1 cent each for postage. 



Some Additions to onr Catalogue.— 



Enameled Ci.oth, for covering frames, 

 price per yard, 4.t inches wide, 20 cents ; if a 

 whole piece of 12 yards is taken, $2.25 ; 10 

 pieces, $20.00 ; if ordered by mail, send 15 

 cents per yard extra for postage. 



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 aro in no way safe. 



Union Convention at Cliicago.— The 



North American Bee-Keepers' Society and 

 the Northwestern Bee-Keepers' Society will

 Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Novem- 

 berO, 10 and 11,1887. The Secretary's no- 

 tice will be issued soon— naming the place
