To Correspondents. — It would Bare 

 UB much trouble, if all would be particular 

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

 writing to this olBce. We have several letters 

 dome 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. 



As there is Another firm in Chicago by 

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

 correspondents would write " American Bee 

 Journal " on the envelope when writing to 

 this office. Several letters of ours have 

 already gone to the other Arm (a commission 

 house), causing vexatious delay and trouble. 



■We TOill 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 band 

 to decide as to the spelling of words, and to 

 determine their meaning. 



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. 



Red Ijabels for one-pound pails of 

 honey, size 3x4H inches. — We nave now 

 gotten up a lot of these Labels, and can

In tlie IntercMi of the bee-keeping public 

 as well as in order to increase businees, we 

 wish to make it g:cnerally known that we 

 dtal in Honey and BeesiTax especially. 



Our personal acciuaintance with the trade 

 all through tbis country, and our connec- 

 tions in foreign markets, enable us to 

 handle any quantity of comb and extracted 

 honey and wax most advantageously. 



It is our aim not only to supply the 

 demand, but also to create a demand, 

 especially in those parts of the country 

 which heretofore have been neglected, or 

 overlooked. Honey at present prices ought 

 to be used as a regular food product by all 

 classes, It is to the interest of every 

 thoughtful apiarist to increase the con- 

 sumption, in order to equalize the rapidly 

 increasing production, and thus uphold 

 prices— but it is also absolutely necessary to 

 offer to consumers tne Pure and Perfect 

 article only, in order to maintain their 

 confidence. 



We trust that with the co-operation of the 

 bee-keepers we can attain our object. We 

 solicit correspondence and consignments. 

 On the latter, advancements will be made. 



Prompt returns guaranteed at headquar- 

 ters, 122 Water Street, near Wall, NewTork.

Ifncca Brushes are employed for re- 

 moving bees from the combs. They are a 

 soft, vegetable fiber, and do not irritate the 

 bees. We can supply them at 5 cents 

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

 add 1 cent each for postage.

Back Numbers of the Bee Journal for 

 this year are getting scarce. It any of our 

 new subscribers want them, they should 

 order them soon, or we may not be able to 

 supply them. Last fall we had to refuse 

 many applications for them, as they wei-e 

 all gone in September. Say so at once, if 

 you want them. 



We pay 20 cents per pound, delivered 

 here, for good Yellow Beeswax. To avoid 

 mistakes, the shipper's name should always 

 be on each package.
