To Correspondents. — It irould eayc 

 U8 Djuoh trouble, if all would be particular 

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

 writing to this office. We receive letters 

 (some inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others having no PostrOfflce, County 

 or State. Also, if you live near one postr 

 office and get your mall at another, be sure 

 to give the address we have on our list. 



A* there Is Another 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 office. Several letters of ours have 

 already gone to the other firm (a commission 

 house), causing vexatious delay and trouble. 



B^ 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 office 

 or we will send them all to the agent. 



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. 



We are sometimes asked who our 



authorized agents are. Every subscriber is 

 such an agent ; wo have no others, and we 

 greatly desire that each one would at least 

 send In the name of one new subscriber 

 with his own renewal for 188S. The next 

 few weeks is the time to do this. We hope 

 every subscriber will do his or her best to 

 double our list of subscribers. 



We have a Tew Seta of the Bee Jodr- 

 NAi, for the present year, and can fill orders 

 until further notice, for all the numbers 

 from the first of last Jan\iary. New sub- 

 scribers desiring these back nnmbers, wll I 

 please to state it plainly, or they will not 

 be 'sent.

 4 ounces, $1 ; H pound, $1.75 ; 1 lb., $3. One

 willing to pay for it, please send us a postal 

 card asking to have it stopped. Be sure to

AT YOCH WRAPPER LABEL. 



W^e pay 20 cents per pound, delivered 

 here, for good Yellow Beeswax. To avoid 

 mistakes, the shipper's name should always 

 be on each package. 



Don't do It !— Notwithstanding our many 

 cautions, some persons still persists in send- 

 ing silver in letters. In nine cases out of 

 ten it will break the envelope and be either 

 lost or stolen. Cases come to li^ht nearly 

 every day, showing that silver sent in 

 letters stops somewhere on the way. It is 

 an InTiiation to the thief— a regular temp- 

 tation : If you wish to safely send money, 

 get a Post-office Money Order, Express 

 Order, or Bank Draft on Chicago or New 

 York. When money is sent in either of the 

 above-named ways, it is at our risk. In any 

 other manner, it Is at the risk of the sender. 



Photographs of Bee-Keepers.— We 



have purchased a lot of the "medley" got- 

 ten up by E. 0. Tuttle, containing the faces 

 of 331 representative apiarists, and a photo- 

 graphical sketch of each one, and will send 

 it and the Bee Journal for one year for 

 $1.75, or will present It free by mail to any 

 one for a club of three subscribers and $3. 



Neiv Subscribers can obtain the full 

 numbers for 1887 and 1888 for $1.80, as long 

 as we have any sets of 1887 left. There 

 are only a few, and to get them an early 

 application will be necessary. 



Only One Book of History with every 

 club subscription to the American Bbb 

 Journal and New York World, is all that 

 we can offer. The book is worth the whole 

 money to be sent, and then you may con- 

 sider the other two papers as a free gift.
