THICK AND DIVIDED TOl'-FKAMES. 



We liave in stock some sevetiteeii boxes, each con- 

 taining' 3511 L. frames, with ordinary side ami bottom 

 bars i4x'«, and with divided top-bars '« in. deep, and 

 1 inch wide, or each piece '4 inch wide. In nailing 

 up these frames it is the purpose to put a piece of 

 foundation, either a starter or full slieet, between 

 the two parts of bar, thus clamping it securely. 

 We will close out these frames at $2.(i() per box. For 

 a smaller quantity, which would hnve to be repack- 

 ed, fl.Oo per lOO. 



THE NEW CKANE SMCIKEK. 



This new and valuable implement has been per- 

 fected at last. Its advantages over all other smokers 

 were .so di-citled that we I'oncluded months ago to 

 manufacture and sell the same under royalty, and 

 therefore applied to the inventor at once. Both 

 ourselves and Mr. Crane have been busy experi- 

 menting on its construction ever since. We had 

 hoped to offer it to the public before: liut, desiring 

 to get the instrument fiilly pcrfecti'd. we have 

 waited until now. It has been much improved; 

 and it is the general testimony of experts who have 

 examined it. that it furnishes the sti'ongest blast 

 and greatest volume of smoke, with the lea^t effort 

 of the bellows. It is so constructed that smoke 

 can not get into the bellows; and so powerful is the 

 blast, that, as Dr. Miller has recently t-xpressed it, 

 it would " blow the whole insides (jut" if the inter- 

 nal arrangements were constructed like other 

 smokers. The fire-cup is lined on the inside with 

 asbestos and sheet iron; so also is the nozzle. This, 

 you will readily see, prevents both in a large mea- 

 sure from getting too hot to be handled, and also 

 prevents the deposit of a superabundance of creo- 

 sote on the inside. The nozzle is i-urved so as to 

 send a stream at nearly right angles to the plane of 

 the bellows, and the latter is reversed large end up. 

 We have aimed to make this the very best smoker 

 ever put upon the market, and in doing so we find 

 that we are obliged to put the retail price at ^3.00 by 

 mail, postpaid, large size. 3i4 inch. By freight or 

 express with other goods, 11.7,5 Price in lots of 13, 

 $11.00. Special prices to the trade will be furnished 

 on application. Cuts and full descrijition will ap- 

 pear in our next issue.
