THE
ILLUSTRATED
BEE
letter THAN A MAGAZINE because

DETTER THAN A MAGAZINE because
X it goes 20 press four times a
- month, and thus has an oppor-
tunity TO keep up with the
time on all matters Of public interest.
Magazines with their best appliances
must go to press in November to be
published in December, while a news
paper magazine like The Illustrated
Bee goes to press but three days be-
fore publication. and therefore can
have its contents fresh. And this
freshness does not in any way operate
against their value, either from an
artistic or literary standpoint. while
all their importance as dealing with
current events is preserved as we'll.
Fifty-two numbers Of The Illustrated
Bee contain more pictures and more
reading matter, and of as high a
grade as twelve numbers OF the or
binary magazines. Did you ever
think Of saving your illustrated Bee
for a file? II not. begin with the
next number, and see what a hand
some volume you will have a year
from now.
