. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. 14 AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL Jan. 2, 19C2. The Novelty Pocket=Knife. Vour 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. Un- derneath the celluloid, on one side of the handle is placed the name and residence of the subscriber, and on the other side pictures of a Queen, Drone, and Worker, as shown here.

What more lasting memento could a mother give to a son, a wife to a husband, a sister to a brother, or a ladv to a gentleman, the knife having the name of the recipient on one side?
