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



Dear Friends:— It gives me great pleasure to forward 

 you this unsolicited testimonial regarding the merits 

 of Atchley queens. The three iS) dozen queens pur- 

 chased of you have made an excellent 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 nextseason. Yours fraternally, 



J. C. Wallenmeyer.

BINGHAM SMOKER.

 one already. It is the be.st smoker I 

 ever used. Truly yours, 



Henkt Schmidt, Hutto, Tex. 



MADE TO ORDER 



Bin gham 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 tlie 

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

 three larger sizes. No wonder Bingham's four-inch smoke-engiuc 

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

 ed steel fire-grate hasSSl holes to air the fuel and support the fire. 

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

 \ 81.10 ; 3-inch, 81.00 ; 2;^2-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.
