GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

WORTH KNOWING! 



Dealers and users of smo- 

 kers are cautioned n «>.-!i iri.st 

 selling 1 or using- smokers hav- 

 ing-, substantially, my patent 

 draft, unless made by me. as 

 I am their original and first 

 inventor, patentee, and only 

 legal maker. Without an 

 open draft, a reliable tire in 

 any bellows smoker is im- 

 possible; while, with Bing- 

 ham's open draft, stove 

 wood, chips, or anything 

 [combustible, burns as stead- 

 1 ily as in a parlor stove. The 

 largest bee-keepers use from 

 one to twenty Bingham smo- 

 kers and Hingham & Heth- 

 erington honey -knives in 

 their different apiaries. Over 

 |rhree thousand have been in 

 Steady use three years. Ev- 

 3ry bee-keeper speaks in the 

 Qhighest praise of them, ex- 

 cept the makers of infring- 

 ing smokers. No word or letter of complaint his 

 ever come to us from the twenty thousand happy 

 users of them. We have never heard of any smoker 

 or honey-knife said to be better than Bingham & 

 Hetherington's. M. Quinby made a Pi-inch smoker 

 which he sold for $1.5U, in which only dry rotten wood 

 could be burnt, the draft was so poor. Bingham 

 made a l^'-inch smoker for one dollar, which would 

 burn anything combustible, and never go out. For 

 this valuable improvement and reduction in price, 

 and patent. Bingham is abused by every gentl mtn 

 who wants to make infringing smokers. Five dol- 

 lars, received before Dec. 31, 18H0, will buy 13 Little 

 Wonder l 3 4-inch Bingham bee-smokers; 6 will he 

 sent on receipt of $3 .50; or one as sample, postpaid 

 to any address in the U- S., on receipt of 75 cents, if 

 before Dec. 31, 18S0. Bingham smokers are of three 

 sizes, patented Jan. 9. 1878; reissued July 9, 1878.
