Get the Best Queens. 



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

 The Jennie Atrhley Co.. Beevile. Bee Co.. Texas: 



Dear Friends:— It gives me great pleasure to forward 

 you this unsolicited testimonial regarding the merits 

 of .\tchley queens. The three (S) dozen queens pur- 

 chased of you have made an e.vcellent record for them- 

 selves. Not an Atchley queen among the twenty colo- 

 nies lost during the severe drouth in July. I've 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 volumes 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.

BINGHAM SMOKER. 



Dear Sir:— Inclosed find $1.75. Please 

 Bend one brass smoke-engine. 1 have 

 one already. It is the best smoker I 

 ever used. Truly yours, 



Henby Schmidt, Hutto, Tei. 



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

 ' a lifetime. You need one, but they cost ;-o 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 puffing, and does not drop inky drops. 1 he perforat- 

 ed steel fire-grate has3Sl holes lo air the fuel and support the fire. 

 Heax'y tin smoke-engine, 4-inch stove, per mail, 81.50; 354-inch; 

 \ 81.10 ; 3-inch, 81.00 ; 2y2-iuch 90c ; 2-inch, 6.5c. Bingham smokers are 

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

 , standard of excellence for 22 years. Only three larger cues brass.
