GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



NEWR lNGHAM 

 BEE SMOKER 



In 1878 the original 

 direct draft bee smolcer 

 was invented and patent- 

 ed by Mr. T. F. Bingham, 

 of Michigan. Mr. Bing- 

 ham manufactured the 

 Bingham Smoker and 

 Bingham Honey-knife for 

 nearly thirty-five years; 

 and in 1912, becoming a 

 very old man, we pur- 

 chased this business and 

 joined it to our established 

 business of beekeepers' 

 supplies and general bee- 

 \\are. Those who knew Mr. Bina;ham will join us 

 in saying that he was one of the finest of men and it 

 gives us much pleasure to help perpetuate his name 

 in the beekeeping industry. Bingham smokers have 

 been improved from time to time, are now the finest 

 on the market, and for over forty years have been 

 the standard in this and many foreign countries. 

 For sale by all dealers in bee supplies or direct from 

 the manufacturers.

Bingham Honey Uncapping Knives 

 with New Cold Handles 



We are furnishing the same quality steel, 

 best money can buy, thin-bladed knives that 

 Mr. Bingham manufactured years ago. The 

 old timers all remember these knives and 

 many are writing in as Mr. Volstad in the 

 following letters. The substitutes offered 

 by others have not given the satisfaction desired. 



A. G. Woodman Co. Lyle, Minn., .Tune 21, 1917. 



Gentlemen: — Have you the thin good-working uncapping-knives we used to get about 20 years 

 ago, and that worked to perfection ? 



We sent an 8% and 10 inch knife and received the following letter: 



A. G. Woodman Co. 



Gentlemen: — Knives received; glad you sent them at once, 

 been looking for but did not know where to get them. 



Lyle, Minn, July 5, 1917. 

 They are just what I want and have 

 K. H. Volstad. 



Many of the most extensive honey producers insist on the Genuine Bingham 

 knives. Mr. N. E. France of Plattsville,*Wis., gave us a fine unsolicited testimonial on 

 the steam-heated Bingham knife, too long for this space.
