GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



July 



gjiNGHAM's Smoker Qorner. 



De Pere, Wis., June 12, 1870. 

 T. F. Bingham, Otsego, Mich. 



Dear Sir: — Many thanks for promptness. The 

 smokers have all been received, and give the great- 

 est satisfaction. My own has now been in constant 

 use for three years, lighted every day, and burning 

 all day long during the bee season, and, though 1 

 see new ones around me, 1 never wish for or think 

 of taking one. It has gone out but three times 

 during that time, and that from my carelessness. 

 Respectfully, Frances Dunham. 



Milledgeville, 111., June 3, 1879. 

 T. F. Binoham, Otsego, Mich. 



Dear Sir:— The two dozen smokers received, 

 also your beautiful and well made honey knife. It 

 is a model of neatness and durability. I predict 

 that I shall like it. It is like your smokers, well 

 made from first class material. That is the way I 

 do. I use good material and spare no pains in doing 

 accurate work. You have the inside track on 

 smokers. The principle is clear, and I think can't 

 be dodged by others. Your smokers beat the world 

 for power and quick action. Kespectfullv
