Original Bingham Smoker Corner. 



We have arranged a movable cold-blast or rag- 

 burning attachment for all sizes of Bingham Smo- 

 kers and will send it post-paid to any one on receipt 

 of 25 cents, and the diameter measure of their smo- 

 ker. This is the most perfect application of the cold- 

 blast principle which can be made, and we have put 

 it in the patent office that we may have the credit of 

 the application, and some other improvements which 

 we have made. Mr. Corey suggested the principle, 

 and speaks of the soothing effects of cold smoke. All 

 our new smokers will be provided with the movable 

 cold-blast attachment until fully tested (no extra 

 charge). They will burn anything combustible, and 

 rags, &c, slowly. The attachment can be removed 

 without injury or trouble should cold-blast prove of 

 no practical value. 



Address, T. F. Bingham, Otsego, Mich. 



OpenLetter to Mk. John G. Corey, SantaPaula, Cal. 



Otsego, Feb. 18th, 1879. 



Mr. Corey —Dear Sir : I have the pleasure of mail- 

 ing to your address, this day, one of my large size bee 

 smokers, in which 1 have arranged and developed 

 the principle you have so generously donated to the 

 bee keepers of America. How far superior cold 

 smoke may prove to that heretofore used, time and 

 extensive use alone can determine. To facilitate 

 such practical experiment without possible loss, 

 should it prove of no real value, I have constructed 

 the jittachment contained and shown herewith, which 

 can be used, or removed without trouble or expense, 

 as may be desired. 



I was pained to receive so unmerited a slur from a 

 practical bee-keeper ; one of a class of citizens 

 whom it has ever been my greatest desire to beneHt, 

 and among whom it has ever been my pleasure and 

 pride to associate. 



I have a patent, it is true, covering my smoker, but 

 it has not raised the price of smokers, neither has it 

 debased their quality ; but. on the contrary, has done 

 just what the i'ramers of the patent law designed it 

 and all other real improvements should do, viz.: 

 placed within easy reach of the user or consumer, 

 the best quality of goods at a reasonable price. 



Respectfully yours, T. F. Bingham.
