Get the Best Queens. 



Evansville, Ind., Sept. 27th, 1900. 

 The Jennie Atchley Co , Beeville, Bee Co.. Texas: 



Dear Friends: — 11 gives me great pleasure to forward 

 you th s uii.solicited testimonial regarding the merits 

 of Atchley queens. The three (3) dozen queens pur- 

 chased of you hive made an excellent record for 

 themselves. Not an Mchlej' queen among the twenty 

 colonies lost during the severe drouth in July. I have 

 bought queens from many breeders; and although the 

 prtsent crop is exceedingly short, the tiers of supers 

 show where the Atchley queens are, and speak vol- 

 umes for your method of queen-rearing. I find the 

 progenv to be very gentle, strong winged, uniformlj' 

 marked, long-lived, of la'ge size, and, last but not 

 least, the best honey gatherers I ever had. I shall 

 want 100 more next season. 



Yours fraternally, J. C. Wallenmeyer. 



ENGINES. 



We used to manufacture small engines our.'elves ; 

 but the large manufacturers are able to do this much 

 more advantageously than we, so we discontinued 

 this some years ago. We .still get a good many in- 

 quiries, however, and we take pleasure in referring 

 any and all who need a fir.st-class engine, large or 

 .small, (o Tas. I^effel & Co., Box 89, Springfield, Ohio.

Bingham Brass Smokers 



Made of sheet brass, which does not rust or burn out ; should last 

 a lifetime. You need one, but they cost 25 cts. more than tin of the 

 same size. The little open cut shows our brass hinge put on the 

 three larger sizes. No wonder Bingham's 4-inch smoke-engine 

 goes without puffing, and does not drop inky drops. The perforated 

 steel fire-grate has 381 holes to air the fuel and support the fire. 



Heavy tin smoke-engine, 4-inch stove, per mail, $1.50; 3^-inch, 

 81.10; 3-inch, 81.00; 2^-inch, 90c; 2-inch, 6.5c. Bingham smokers are 

 the originals, and have all the improvements, and have been the 

 standard of excellence for 22 years. Only three larger ones brass. 



T. F. Bingham, 



Farweil, Rflich. %
