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



Dear Friends: — It gives me great pleasure to forward 

 you this un.solicited testimonial regarding the m.erits 

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

 chased of you have n>ade an excellent record for 

 themselves. Not an Atchley queen among the twenty 

 colonies lost during the severe drouth in July. I have 

 bouaht 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. 



Your.s fraternally, J. C. Wallenmeyer.

MADE TO ORDER 



BINGHAM SMOKER. 



Dear Sir:— Inclosed find $1.75. Please 

 send one brass smoke-engine. I have 

 one already. It is the best smoker I 

 overused. Truly yours, 



Hekby Schmidt, Hutto, Tex. 



Bing ham 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 four-inch smoke-engine 

 ' goes without puflSng, and does not drop inky drops. The perforat- 

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

 ' Heavy tin smoke-engine, 4-inch stove, per mail, 81.50 ; 3H-inch ; 

 I 81.10 ; 3-inch, 81.00 ; 2>4-inch 90c ; 2-inch, 65c. 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.
