You can lean on a Bingham 

 Smoker in the hour of trial. 

 One match per day, and wood 

 of any kind, is all that's need- 

 ed. It needs no fussing or 

 cleaning or dampers, as it 

 works just as well pointing 

 down as up. and never goes 

 out. Previous to my inven- 

 tion and patent, the' draft to 

 all bellows smokers was throu' 

 the bellows; now, all bellows 

 smokers use an open draft. 

 The largest and most scientific bee-keepers 

 use Bingham Smokers, some using as many 

 as fifteen in their various apiaries. 



No Bingham Smoker has ever been re- 

 turned. No letter has ever been receiv 'd 

 complaining that our Smokers did not give 

 satisfaction; but we have received hund- 

 reds of letters expressing the most un- 

 bounded satisfaction and appreciation of 

 our invention. Hundreds of them have 

 been in constant use three seasons, and are 

 now as good as new. One dollar and a half is not 

 much for the use of such an instrument three sea- 

 sons, is it? Patented January 9, 1878; re-issued 

 Julv 9, 1878. 



The extra large Smoker and the Extra Standard 

 for 1880 will have our new extra-wide shields, which 

 entirely protect the hands and bellows from heat, 

 and remove the danger of burning the fingers. 

 Practical bee-keepers will find these wide shields an 

 imDortant improvement. 



The Bingham & Hetherington Patent Uncarping 

 Knife is a large, strong, durable knife, polishf d and 

 tempered like a razor, and so formed and sharpened 

 as to cut both ways, over hills and through hollows 

 all the same, without dropping a cap on the honey. 

 The most world-renowned, practical, and scientific 

 bee-keepers in Europe and America pronounce it 

 "the best honey-knife ever made."
