BEE SMOKER 



Tn 1878 the -original 

 (liri'c't draft bee smoker 

 was invented and patent- 

 ed by Mr. T. t\ BhifthRin, 

 of Michigan. Mr. Bing- 

 ham manufai'tured the 

 Bingliam Smoker and 

 Bingham Honey-knife for 

 nearly thirty-five years; 

 and in 1912, becoming a 

 very old man, v,'e pur- 

 chased this business and 

 joined it to our established 

 business of beekeepers' 

 supplies and general bee- 

 ware. Those who knew Mr. Binsham will join us 

 in saying that he was one of the finest of men and it 

 give.s us much pleasure to help perpetuate his name 

 in the beekeeping industry. Bingham smokers have 

 leen improved from time to time, are now the finest 

 on the market, and for nearly forty years have been 

 the standard in this and many foreign countries. 

 For sale by all dealers in bee supplies or direct from 

 the manufacturer.s.
