Get the Best Queens. 



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

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



Dear T'j {ends: — It gives me great pleasure to forward 

 you this unsolicited testimonial regarding the merits 

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

 chased o? you have made an excellent record for 

 themselves. Not an Atchley queen among the twenty 

 colonies lost during the severe drouth in July. I have 

 bought queens from many breeders; and although the 

 present 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 

 progeny to be very gentle, strong winged, uniformly 

 marked, long-lived, of large 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.

Bin g hani Brass Smokers 



Made of sheet bras.s, which does not ru.st or burn out ; should last 

 a lifetime. You neeil one, but they co.st 25 cts. more than tin of the 

 -ame 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 3S1 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, a5c. 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.

Farwell, Mich.
