"THE CONQUEROR. 



9^ 



BoKODiNO, N. Y., Aug. 15. 18.S:i.— .Ml summer long- 

 it has been "which and 'tother'" with me and the 

 Cyprian colony of bees I have— but at last I am hoss. 

 Bingham's Conqueror Smoker did it. If you want 

 lots of smoke just at the right time. gc>t a Conquei 

 Smoker of Bingham. 



Patented, 1878. 

 Prof. Cook, in his valuable Manual of the .\piary, 

 states that "Mr. Bingham was the first to improve 

 the old Quinby smoker by establishing- a direct 

 draft." Five years of persistent effort has demon- 

 strated that DO one but Bin«-hani has been able to 



improve a Biiiia-ham smoker. Hundreds of Binji- 

 hain smokers have been in use five years, and are 

 yet in working- order. They l)iirn lots of blocks and 

 chips and stufi', and make lots of smoke and com- 

 fort, and have no dampers or match-bo.v attach- 

 ments, as the.y never go out or fail to blow^ 

 smoke up or down or sideways, much or little, swift 

 or slow, just as as jou please, any or all of the time; 

 top up or down, they always go'. 



Bee-keepers will save money and ve.xation b.v 

 buying- g-enuine Bing-ham smokers and Bingham & 

 Hethering-ton Uncapping--Knives first. We neither 

 make nor handle any other supplies; but of these 

 we are the orig-inal inventors, and only leg-al mak- 

 ers, and have had over 45,(100 in use from one to five 



With l-Uii-opeaii and Amci-icaii nrdi'is ali-cady re- 

 ceived foi- (>vci-:!0iiii. thfi-c is tnidciici' that ISS5 with 

 us is not likely to be an idle otic .\lso that such 

 goods as we niake have met the advanced wants of 

 the most advanced bee-keepers in Europe and 

 America.
