 The Jennie Aichley Co., BeevUle, Bee Co.. Texas: 



Dear Friends: — It gives me great pleasure to forward 

 you this unsolicited testimonial regarding the merits 

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

 chased of you have made an excellent record for them- 

 selves. Not an Atchley queen among the tw^enty 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.

MADE TO ORDER 



Bingham Brass Smokers. 



BINGHAM SMOKER. 



Dear Sir:— Inclosed find $1.75. Please 

 Bend one brass smoke-engine. I have 

 one already. It is the best smoker I 

 ever used. Truly yours, 



Henbt Schmidt, Hutto, Tex. 



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 puffing, and does not drop inky drops. 1 he 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 ; 



I 81.10 ; 3-inch, 81.00 ; 2H-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. 



T. F. Bingham, Farwell, Michigan.
