. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. Dec. 20, 1900. AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL 813 The Novelty Pocket=Knife. Your Name and Address on one side—Three Bees on the other side. HOWARD M.

The Novelty Knife is indeed a novelty The novelty lies In the handle. It is made beautifully of indestructible celluloid, which is as transparent as g-lass.
